I started my F5 journey as a customer in 2009 where I was first introduced to it as a "load balancer." I have since deployed and maintained all modules realizing the BIG-IP is so much more. I joined F5 in 2015 where I have made it a personal mission to educate as many people as I can so they too can take advantage of the tremendous potential of the BIG-IP.
