Tim KN6PLV

Tim is a relatively new convert to Amateur Radio, getting his license in 2021. But he’s been playing with wifi networks for over 20 years after he put up an antenna so he could use wifi at his local Starbucks down the street.  His career has included working for large web companies managing the development of sites hosting millions of users, writing software to run cellphones, and embedding Java into SIM cards. He also founded a few startups along the way.  These days he actively contributes to a number of open source projects, including AREDN, as writing code that anyone can use and modify has always been his passion. Tim lives in Berkeley, CA.

Tim almost single handedly, coded support for the 802.11ac lines of devices.  For his contributions he was presented the AREDN Developer of the Year Award for 2022.
