Ali Y.

Lead Network Engineer at KLA Laboratories, Inc.

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have attended such a top notch program all within a few minutes of my home and pride myself to be counted among its alumni. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, I was pursuing a field where I could implement my experience in math and interest in computer science. I found networking to be a perfect blend of the two and the Cisco Academy was the conduit I needed to begin a life-changing career that has allowed me to travel the world and broaden my skills. I truly believe the team of instructors at HFC who supported my efforts have been instrumental in my continued pursuit of all things Cisco and networking."
