2023

Coding WiFi, Chasing Chill: My 2023 on Madeira TLTR: Slowed down in 2023. Enterprise WiFi systems ran smoothly. Focused on WiFi backend controller. All code, no hardware. Moved to Madeira. Sun, ocean, Fritz the Vizsla. Balanced work, goth vibes, island life. Thoughts? Comment. Long-Version: To be honest, 2023 was our year to ease off the gas. After years of grinding on enterprise WiFi platforms, we dialed it back. Our customers were set, their systems purring smoothly. No crashes, no chaos, just solid performance. We’d built something reliable, and it gave us room to breathe. So we did. Life was good. Damn good. Most of our work this year was deep in the WiFi backend controller. Code, code, and more code. Not much hardware tinkering, just pure software alchemy. We were sculpting the brains of our enterprise WiFi systems, fine-tuning the logic that keeps connections seamless. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the heart of what we do. Every line of code was a step toward perfection, and we loved the grind, even at a slower pace. Meanwhile, we were soaking up life on Madeira. This tiny island is a force. Think jagged cliffs, wild ocean, and air that hits like a reset button. Mornings meant coffee with sea views. Afternoons were for the kids and Fritz, our Hungarian Vizsla, sprinting across beaches like he owned them. Evenings? Sex Pistols, Siouxsie, or Bauhaus cranked loud, keeping my goth soul alive. Work stayed steady, but 2023 was about balance. Madeira’s magic made it easy. Small, raw, and real, this island became our recharge zone. We coded hard, lived soft, and found our rhythm. The WiFi game keeps rolling, but this year showed me balance is its own kind of power. Want to dive into our backend controller work or hear more about island life?
