Well hello there! My name is Bilal.

I spend my days currently working as a PSO Senior Consultant for VMware based in West Yorkshire. I have been in the field of IT for over 15 years, in one form or another.

I currently work with HCX quite a bit and the core vSphere stack with some NSX-T.

I fell in love with virtualization ages ago, I just love the idea of it. I guess its kind of like inception, a server running another server inside it ha.

I have been blogging for a while, I used to have my own blog but decided being here with a bunch of like-minded individuals could only be a good thing!

If you haven’t guessed already I am a big Batman fan!

You will find my writing style very chilled and not as serious as everyone else. I am a firm believer that what you do should be fun, and even important topics can be injected with some form of humour.

What I love about virtualization is that is always changing and dynamic, be it NSX to VSAN there is always something going on. I don’t know everything and I do not pretend to, the key for me is to keep learning every day and to enjoy the process.

I love to eat and eat a lot, and currently, I am enjoying running…a lot and I think it might be partly down to the fact I can get loads of cool medals!
