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:
