Hi, I’m Ahmad

I’m a front-end developer and Ghost CMS theme creator based in Cairo, Egypt. In 2016, I founded Aspire Themes to create simple, well-designed, and functional Ghost themes that help creators share their stories.

My Journey

My passion for web development began over a decade ago. I've been crafting digital experiences ever since. I believe in creating themes that are not only beautiful but also functional and user-friendly.

Working on meaningful projects that bring value and joy to users is what drives me. It's incredibly rewarding to see my Ghost themes used around the world.

Entrepreneurial Ventures

In 2015, I founded the Arabic blogging platform oktob.io, which was acquired by Toriom in 2017. That experience taught me valuable lessons about building products that resonate with users.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported Aspire Themes over the years. Without you, I wouldn't be able to continue doing what I love.

Beyond Coding

When I’m not designing themes, you’ll find me: - Reading books on design, business, and personal development - Exploring new trails on my bicycle - Running through the streets of Cairo - Hiking mountains (with Kilimanjaro being my proudest achievement) - Practicing yoga to stay centered - Traveling and experiencing different cultures

I occasionally share my technical knowledge through articles on SitePoint, where I write about front-end development and Ghost CMS.
