BushLite WiFi is a hotspot management system built to control access, manage vouchers, and monitor usage across shared wireless networks — from voucher-based login through to real-time session and bandwidth oversight.
The Problem
Shared wireless access points in community and small-business settings often lack a structured way to authenticate users, sell time-limited access, or see how bandwidth is being used across connected devices.
Objectives
Approach
The system pairs a Node.js and Express.js backend with MikroTik router integration, handling authentication, package logic, and session data, alongside a responsive web dashboard for monitoring and administration.
Development
Development covered the voucher and package system, the MikroTik integration layer for access-point control, and the dashboard interface for real-time session and usage visibility.
Testing
The system has been exercised under real hotspot conditions — voucher redemption, concurrent sessions, and bandwidth sharing across multiple access points.
BushLite WiFi is a completed, working Version 1.0 system, in active use managing hotspot access.
What’s Next
Planned refinement includes expanded usage analytics, additional package configurations, and continued hardening of the MikroTik integration layer.
Engineering AI Research
Applying artificial intelligence and data-driven methods to monitor equipment condition, predict faults before they occur, and support maintenance decision-making on CNC machine tools.
Engineering Systems / Technology Education
Exploring Python-driven CNC automation and G-code workflows to strengthen practical, hands-on engineering learning.
Energy Systems & Thermodynamics Research
Thermodynamic optimization of energy systems, including working-fluid selection and heat-recovery configuration for industrial applications.
