I’ve been working with F5 BIG-IP for over 20 years. I had my start in Application delivery & Security with Cisco and the product they purchased from ArrowPoint, Cisco CSS. The product worked for the basics, but it was cumbersome when it came to DNS GSLB, and other advanced features. That’s about the time we fleshed out our data centers with a hearty helping of BIG-IPs, and the rest is history. What do I do for food? I’m the founder & CTO of WorldTech IT, an F5 Guardian partner at the highest level. We are dedicated to professional services & sales around F5 & NGINX, as well as solutions that compliment them like Ansible, Terraform, and all the popular public clouds. With a bench of 20+ full time US based engineers, we support the simple to very complex F5 solutions like AWAF, APM, SSLO, & all things NGINX Plus. Hobbies When I’m not F5ing, I’m playing guitar, squash, mountain biking, or reading. Favorite Quote “We don’t plan to fail, we fail to plan.”
