Welcome!
I am a Ahmad Alhour.
This is my digital spot where I keep track of my various hacks, tinkers and side-projects that I have built over the years, mostly for fun and rarely for profit.
In my free time, I like to tinker on something new, occasionally blog, and sometimes lose myself in recreational puzzles.
