Six F5 certifications, three XC accreditations, and 13 years on F5.

These aren't certifications I passed once and left to lapse. 21 successful F5 exam passes since 2012, recertifying specialist exams repeatedly over that time. Topped by the 401: F5 Certified Solution Expert, Security.

F5 Certified Solution Expert, Security (F5-CSE, SEC)
