I’m Ahmad Wali Sidiqi, a software developer and the owner of Checker Software Inc.

I work on web and desktop tools, including Diffchecker, SVGViewer, and Bibcitation.

I like making software that’s straightforward to use, and working through the details that get it there.

Based in Vancouver, Canada.
