Petr Lapukhov's IT career began in 1988 with initial focus on computer programming, and progressed into networking with his first exposure to Novell NetWare in 1991. Continuing with Kazan State University's campus network support and UNIX system administration, he went through the path of becoming a networking consultant, taking part in many network design and deployment projects. Petr currently has over 12 years of experience working with Cisco Systems products, and is the only person in the world to have obtained four CCIEs in under two years, passing each on his first attempt. Petr is an exceptional case in that he has been working with all of the technologies covered in his four CCIE tracks (R&S, Security, SP, and Voice) on a daily basis for many years. Recenly, Petr received his Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) certification, become one of the small group of select people worldwide to have this status. When not actively teaching classes, developing self-paced products Petr can be found as a regular author on INE's CCIE Blog.
