Hi folks! I’m Arslan, an Atlassian Certified Expert, Solutions Engineer, nerdy uncle, and avid runner 🏃‍♂️ from the Washington DC area. 

Unfortunately I was laid off recently and so I'm on the hunt for new opportunities. I'd appreciate any leads, advice, and, banter you'd like to engage in. I can't be grateful enough for how amazing the Atlassian community is! I've particularly benefited so much this year while learning and engaging in Atlassian Community events and webinars. 

I'd love to learn more about you and exchange notes about our careers and so I welcome any opportunity to connect and meet if you’re interested! linkedin.com/in/arsiqbal 


P.S. Here's some more info about me, kind of a marketing pitch:

Hello @Arslan Iqbal 

I wish you luck with your search!

The company I work for (Praecipio) does not have any openings right now but some former colleagues work at Catworkx which has a posting in LinkedIn for a Lead Atlassian Architect.

@Trudy Claspill Thank you for taking the time to respond! I'm creating a list of Atlassian partners to keep an eye on, which includes Praecipio and Catworkx. My previous job was also with a partner, though a smaller one.

If you're interested, then I'd be delighted to connect with you on LinkedIn and continue learning from you and engaging.
