My CWNE Journey

The CWNP program has really helped me to know how to do my job. I started to read the CWNA book as soon as I got introduced to Wi-Fi and I loved the vendor-neutral way to learn a technology (802.11 in this case).

My journey to becoming CWNE #180 has been very exciting and rewarding. It definitely took some hard work but if you are passionate about it, it feels more like discoveries. And it’s kinda like orange juice, the more you drink it, the more you are thirsty for it.

I encourage everyone who is interested in knowing more about 802.11 to go through the process and I hope my journey will inspire other professionals.

If you want to hear more about my journey, make sure to check out the ClearToSend podcast episode #37 hosted by my good friend Rowell:

I would like to thank Cédric for being the best mentor ever, Martin and Jean-François for believing in me and giving me the opportunities to work on exciting Wi-Fi projects, Troy and Ronald for their help in the process, the Wi-Fi community for their ongoing support and inspiration and, most importantly, my lovely wife Tashara for supporting me day and night.

To wrap it up, I would also want to congratulate our 4 newest CWNEs!! Huge congrats guys!
