Building Networks.
Solving Problems.
I’m Arslan Awan — a CCNP-certified network engineer passionate about designing resilient enterprise infrastructure, automating network operations, and continually pushing the boundaries of what networks can do.
From Curious to CCNP
My journey in networking started with a simple question: how does information actually travel across the internet? That curiosity led me down a path of Cisco labs, packet captures, and hundreds of hours of hands-on study that eventually resulted in CCNA and CCNP Enterprise certifications.
Over the years I’ve built and managed enterprise networks ranging from small office deployments to large-scale multi-site architectures — designing routing topologies, implementing security policies, configuring wireless infrastructure, and increasingly automating everything with Python and Ansible.
Today I specialize in the intersection of traditional enterprise networking and cloud architecture — helping organizations bridge their on-prem infrastructure to AWS and Azure while maintaining security, performance, and visibility.
