David L. "Dave" Jones is an Australian electronic design engineer and video blogger. He is the founder and host of EEVBlog (Electronics Engineering Video Blog), a blog and YouTube channel targeting electronics engineers, hobbyists, hackers and makers. His content has been described as a combination of "in-depth equipment reviews and crazy antics".
Before becoming a full-time blogger, Jones worked on FPGA boards for the EDA company Altium.
According to Jones, he began publishing electronic design project plans in electronics DIY magazines like Electronics Australia in the 1980s. In recent years, several of his project articles appeared in Silicon Chip.
Jones is also the founder and co-host of The Amp Hour, an electronics engineering radio show and podcast.
Jones' EEVBlog YouTube channel was created on 4 April 2009. The channel features in-depth equipment reviews and electronics commentaries. Jones has posted over 1000 episodes.
In a mid 2015 video, Jones disputed the claims of an unreleased battery life extender, Batteriser. Batteroo, the company behind the product, disputed Jones's arguments and published a number of demonstration videos in response.
