Attique Bhatti is a highly experience network engineer and trainer who joined the Red Education instructor team in UAE in 2021.

A decade of experience

Attique has over 10 years of experience across a variety of network security roles and joined us initially to deliver courses in Paessler, Check Point and Algosec technologies. He sees the hands-on experience he has gained from his systems engineering background as a significant value-add for his students, saying that he knows how to ‘get his hands dirty’ and enjoys passing on to others the benefits of a decade of experience.

Sharing a love of learning

As well as a passion for sharing his extensive knowledge gained in the field, Attique has a love of learning new things and then teaching them to his students. Having been in the same role for six years before joining Red Education, he found the opportunities for learning were limited. Now Attique is highly motivated by the prospect of what he can learn as a valued member of the Red Education team.

Time with family

When he is not working, Attique enjoys socialising and creating memories with his family, spending whatever free time he has with his two children and taking family trips to Dubai. Before he had children, he says that he enjoyed socialising with friends in Dubai, but now that he is a family man, his trips tend to focus around the many amusement parks the city has to offer. His hobby is photography and says that he has found himself in demand among his extended family for taking photographs to record family events.
