Abid Khan, CCIE #47706

I am a Network Operations Engineer at a local Service Provider and I have been working in Service Provider industry for last 14 years. During those years, I had the privilege of learning various aspects of data networking (from design to operational support). Last year, I decided to stamp my experience with CCIE SP certification. After 8 months of intensive preparation I passed my CCIE SP lab on first attempt. It was a lot of hard work and quite a bit of time spent away from family. However, at the end it was all worth while.
