Read a short interview with the IT Pro finalist in the LLPA Battle. Among all participants in the IT Pro LLPA Battle he had the best results and won a free IT training at ITCE and a pass to the EMA finals for the big prize – Ignite 2016.
Hi Ognyan, first congratulations, you are the best IT Pro in the LLPA Battle. Please tell us briefly something about you, how old are you, what do you do, what are your interests?
Hi, well I am 29 years old, currently I work as a technical solution designer at HP Global Delivery Center. I have many different interests, beginning with board games and computer games to photography. Additionally I have to say that technologies are my passion.
Where did you learn about LLPA Battle?
I read about the LLPA Battle in Facebook and it got my attention right away, the possibility to get a free training and to visit Microsoft Ignite are really great prizes. I think that Ignite is a conference that every IT Pro, that works with MS technologies, should go visit at least once.
Do you have experience in Microsoft Technologies? Was the test hard for you or you managed to finish it quickly?
I have been working with Microsoft Technologies for 10 years. In general the test was really interesting because there were questions from the whole MS product portfolio. This combined with the time pressure to finish it in 5 minutes was a bit of a challenge. Certainly my experience helped me a lot. During all these years I had the opportunity to work and to be related with many of the technologies that were mentioned in the test.
You are the winner in the IT Pro competition as part of LLPA Battle and besides going to the EMA finals you won a free 5-day training at ITCE. Have you chosen the training you would like to visit? Actually have you been to a training at ITCE before?
I decided to visit 20247 -Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud. I think that this training will help me for the next round of the competition. I’ve been to a training at ITCE before and I always leave with positive memories and gained knowledge.
How do you plan to prepare yourself for the LLPA Battle Finals?
I will focus on the System Center products and I will read news on Azure.
