## Projects

- [MCP Memory Service](https://www.alyahmed.me/#mcp-memory-service) (Solo developer, previously team lead, Jul 2026 - Present): Shared long-term memory for AI coding agents, served over the Model Context Protocol. Agents stop re-reading the same files and stop retrying dead ends.
- [ByteBite Ad System](https://github.com/alyMAhmed/ByteBite_AdSystem) (Creator, May 2024 - Jan 2025): Computer-vision ad display on a Raspberry Pi 5. It detects faces, estimates age and gender, and picks the ad to show in real time.
