About Me

He has designed, deployed, and migrated wireless networks across retail, hospitality, and outdoor mesh environments—from 802.11b to Wi‑Fi 7. Robert is currently studying toward the CWNE certification and maintains an active home lab focused on WPA3 migration, 6 GHz planning, and controller‑based architectures. He plans to work full‑time through 2030, then transition to part‑time consulting. This blog reflects his commitment to practical, standards‑based wireless engineering.
