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.

Smart Task Manager
A full-stack task management application built from scratch with a pure Java backend and a modern React frontend. The backend handles custom HTTP routing, in-memory task storage, and full RESTful operations (create, read, delete). The frontend is styled with Tailwind CSS and supports task creation, deletion, due dates, and live updates. Designed without frameworks like Spring Boot to demonstrate deep understanding of HTTP and REST architecture.
