2003

At seventeen, I got completely hooked on WiFi. I built DIY antennas from cans and coat hangers, then climbed rooftops and balconies to test signal range and performance. I was curious how far I could push the limits - how buildings, weather, and angles affected the signal. I kept notebooks, compared results, adjusted setups. Every test was its own little discovery. And honestly, I learned more from those experiments than I ever did in school.
