About

Hi, I'm Jason and I wrote WiFi Solver as a fun solo project.

WiFi Solver is the evolution of the Android app WiFi Solver FDTD, originally launched in 2014. This app was written in the aftermath of a blog post I wrote during my PhD about simulating WiFi called Helmhurts, which went a bit viral back then.

Read more about that blog post from coverage in Ars Technica, The Verge, The Conversation and (surprisingly!) the Daily Mail.

Ten years later in 2024 I was no longer a physicist but a software engineer, so I decided that a fitting way to mark the 10-year anniversary of that app would be to reimagine it on the web, which would be much more modern and take advantage of the significant advances in GPU support in browsers during that time.
