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."
