Roger Perkin, CCIE #50038

Home

Hi, I’m Roger, I am a Network & Security Consultant and currently work for a Cisco Gold Partner in the UK focusing on network automation and all things netdevops.

I am CCIE #50038 in Routing & Switching, a journey which cost me a lot of time, money, sweat and tears. More on that later.

My Story

I originally setup this blog as a portal for my CCIE Studies.
On August 27th 2015 I passed the CCIE Lab and I became CCIE #50038.

This was a long journey and I am not ashamed to say it took me 5 attempts to pass the CCIE Lab!

If you want to find out more about that and read about my tips to help you not make the same mistakes that I did you can,
Read about My CCIE Journey Here

This is me outside the CCIE Lab in Brussels on 27th August 2015 just after passing!

Right now I am writing more about Network Automation, Ansible & Python. I recently passed the Cisco Certified Devnet Associate and am currently working towards Cisco Certified Devnet Professional.

I have a gorgeous wife and a 14 year old daughter

I love to travel, recent destinations include  Kenya, New York, Canada and Sierra Leone
