Irfan Liaqat

Ever since I can remember, I have always been around computers and technology. When I was a kid, we used to have PC in our living room, it was something we used to tinker with and play on a lot. During my academic years, it was natural for me to pursue computer sciences. Then, I entered professional world and was introduced to IT infrastructure & datacenter domain, and since then it has been my passion and focus of my professional life. Over the years, I have worked with different organizations, with each position increasing in responsibilities, scope, and complexity of IT infrastructure & datacenter.

I have deep fascination with understanding and learning how technology, system, or device works… How I can set it up… as well as What are the standards or best practices involved in designing, implementing, and managing them.
