PROJECTS
Ambaar
Desktop download manager whose engine verifies itself. Every downloader breaks a few weeks after you install it — YouTube changes its player, the yt-dlp engine underneath goes stale, and nothing tells you. Ambaar checks weekly, then proves the new engine works before trusting it: it resolves a real media URL and fetches the first two kilobytes. A 403 there means signature deciphering is broken, so the previous working version is restored automatically. Packaged builds update by unpacking the yt-dlp wheel to the user data directory, since a frozen app has no pip.

ARGOS · ATLAS
ODYSSEA
ARGOS, ATLAS & Odyssea
Three production HPC web servers built for Mathlab at SISSA Trieste, one of Europe's leading institutes for mathematics and physics. Wrapped complex Python simulation backends in React UIs with real-time result streaming, serving researchers for medical and industrial modelling workloads. All three are live and publicly reachable: argos.sissa.it, atlas.sissa.it and odyssea.sissa.it.

COMMUNITY
Why community matters to me
I believe the biggest leverage point for any engineer is how many other people they can pull up with them. Leading IEEE, organizing AWS meetups, running Hack Club — these aren't resume items. They're how I act on the belief that democratizing technology changes lives.
TESTIMONIALS
Research collaborator · Rome, May 2024
"I had the pleasure of meeting Mursal Furqan during my secondment in Rome in May 2024, and our shared passion for AI and data science led us to collaborate on 'Leveraging Machine Learning to Detect and Alleviate Natural Anxiety.' It was a rewarding experience to work with someone as dedicated and driven as Mursal. Having known him since his bachelor's at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, I have always admired his strong work ethic and deep curiosity for computer science. Mursal is not only highly skilled but also professional, sincere, and open to feedback — qualities that make him a fantastic team player. I have no doubt that his expertise in AI and data science, coupled with his problem-solving mindset, will lead him to great success."
