Hello, I’m
Ahmad Alhourani
Information Engineering Bachelor’s Graduate from HAW Hamburg.
I am an Information Engineering graduate with a strong interest in software development and web development. Through university and personal projects, I have built experience in Java, C, SQL, REST APIs, and modern frontend technologies such as React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. I focus on building clean, reliable, and user-oriented applications while continuously growing my practical development skills.

Making Ideas Come to Life!
Some of the Best Projects I Have Developed
Modern Time Tracking Application
Bachelor thesis project focused on modernizing a legacy HCL Notes/Domino time-tracking system with a responsive React frontend. The application supports clock-in and clock-out workflows, project assignment, reports, status monitoring, and REST-based integration with the existing Domino backend.

Eventify
Full-stack event management system with an Express (Node.js) REST API and a React + Tailwind admin dashboard. Create events, define ticket types and allocations, manage customers, create orders, take payments, and perform real-time ticket check-ins with conflict/duplicate checks. Frontend talks to the backend via a clean api.js layer with environment-based BASE URL. Supports production same-origin serving or split dev setup.

Local AI Chatbot Application
With this project, you will have a fully local AI stack powered by an Express (Node.js) backend, a React + Tailwind frontend, and Ollama for running LLMs on your machine. It includes a JavaScript document-reader that ingests files (PDF/TXT/MD, etc.) and injects the content into the prompts to allow models to answer questions about your docs. For images, a separate Python FastAPI server is set up to run Stable Diffusion to generate pictures given text prompts. How to run everything: Start Ollama, launch the Python image server, boot the Express API, then run the React app. After that, you will be able to use the UI to chat, upload documents, and generate images without the Internet.

NoiseCleanse – Real-Time Audio Deconvolution App
A full-stack desktop application for real-time and offline audio deconvolution, allowing users to record speech, capture impulse responses, and reconstruct clean audio using advanced signal processing techniques. Built with FastAPI (Python) and ReactJS, and packaged into a cross-platform desktop app using Electron, this project showcases end-to-end engineering from real-time DSP to frontend UX. Developed from scratch and refined over 300+ hours of focused work.

Developer Bookmarking API
DevLinkHub is a fullstack application that allows developers to save, organize, and manage useful coding resources and bookmarks. Built with Node.js, Express.js, and MySQL, and featuring a dynamic React frontend, this project showcases practical RESTful API development and frontend integration. It supports CRUD operations, category/tag assignment, and real time UI updates all within a single page React app.

Job Board API
A RESTful API built with Node.js and Express for a Job Board platform, allowing recruiters to post jobs and job seekers to apply. The API includes secure authentication with JWT, role-based access control, and MySQL database integration. Designed for scalability with middleware and clean architecture.
