Who We Are

Wi-Fi Ninjas started because two mates genuinely loved Wi-Fi, technology, and helping people understand it better.

What began as a side project creating podcasts, videos, blogs, and community content quickly grew into something much bigger. Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to build an amazing community around wireless networking, speak at industry events worldwide, teach thousands of students, and work alongside some of the best people in the industry.

These days, Matt works at Ekahau leading Product Marketing and ECSE, while Mac has spent time pursuing opportunities within the property industry before recently being pulled back into the world of Wi-Fi, events, and training again. Somehow, despite life taking us in slightly different directions for a while, our worlds have collided once again.

At the core of Wi-Fi Ninjas, not much has changed.

We still love:

  • Wi-Fi

  • Creating content

  • Podcasts and videos

  • Teaching and sharing knowledge

  • Speaking at events

  • Building cool studio setups

  • Helping people progress in their careers

  • Having a laugh while doing all of the above

This website and podcast are now a mix of all of those worlds combined. Expect Wi-Fi discussions, industry insights, event experiences, studio and content creation ideas, property renovation chaos, tech gadgets, behind-the-scenes stories, and whatever else we find interesting enough to talk about.

The super deep technical Wi-Fi and Ekahau content still lives over on the Ekahau webinars and training platforms, but Wi-Fi Ninjas gives us a place to be a bit more personal, relaxed, creative, and real.

Most importantly, we’re just massively grateful that people still care enough to listen, watch, read, and support what we do after all these years.

Over the years, Mac has delivered hundreds of wireless projects across a wide range of environments, taught numerous ECSE courses, spoken at industry events, and helped create technical content consumed by Wi-Fi professionals around the world.

Outside of Wi-Fi, Mac is also a sailing enthusiast, tech lover, and apparently now spends a large portion of his time acting as Matt’s unofficial PA, property consultant, and life organiser.
