ABOUT THE AUTHORS
PHILIP JÖNSSON
Since Philip had a big interest in technology, choosing an education was easy. His IT-studies started at NTI (The Nordic Technical Institute) where he studied the basics of computer technology and eventually focused on network technology. Later on he studied IT-security at Academedia Masters.
Philip’s first job in the IT business was at a home electronics company in Sweden. He worked at the IT-department and was responsible for managing and troubleshooting the sales equipment in the different stores and managing the IT-infrastructure within the organization. This is where Philip first encountered a BIG-IP controller.
Philip eventually started working in a Technical Assistance Center (TAC) department at one of the largest IT security company in Europe. Now Philip has advanced within that same company to work as a consultant focusing on F5 products, handling major projects and solving problems for Sweden’s most well-known companies.
