About

TODO(Q): this bio is a draft assembled from your project brief. Rewrite it in your own words.

I'm Muhammad Iqrar Amin, though most people call me Q. I'm a cybersecurity researcher, engineer, and software developer.

My research sits where machine learning meets network defense: federated learning, intrusion detection systems, deep learning ensembles, and explainable AI. I'm interested in detectors that organizations can train together without pooling their traffic, and in models that can show their work when they raise an alert.

This bio, on the wire

The text above is also the payload of the frame below, shown the way a packet analyzer like Wireshark would. Hover or focus a field to see its bytes; hover the bytes to find the field, or the word, they belong to.

Real bytes: a valid Ethernet II / IPv4 / TCP frame assembled when this site was built, with both checksums computed and then verified by parsing the frame back. It was never actually sent anywhere.
