Here is a little about Shaun in his own words to help you learn a bit about him and get your questions ready!

"I’m Shaun Gouws, an IT professional dedicated to helping businesses thrive by improving efficiency, scalability, and innovation through technology. With years of experience in IT operations, cloud infrastructure, and solutions design, I specialize in aligning technology with business goals to deliver results.

 

I’ve been with F5 since 2007 (with a little break as I moved countries) and worked across the IT Helpdesk Engineer, Network Support Engineer, Solutions Engineer and now I found myself in the Service Delivery Manager role.
