## Projects

- Niural AI, Accounts payable and crypto payouts: Accounts payable inside Niural's payments product: invoice capture, bill review and multi-level approval routing, plus crypto payouts with wallet funding and a Coinbase integration. I also build vendor management and the AP dashboards for aging invoices, cash flow and vendor spend.
- RestroX, Restaurant management system: I led the frontend of a multi-tenant restaurant platform: two admin panels, the customer web app and the design system all three share, in a Turborepo monorepo. Orders update live over WebSockets, with Paddle and NepalPay for payments.
- Elevate Ed, E-learning and certification platform: A MOOC and certification platform I built solo, frontend and backend. Encrypted uploads and HLS streaming via FFmpeg, realtime chat on Socket.io, PDF certificates from Puppeteer, and Khalti payments over an Express, Prisma and PostgreSQL API.
- BlackTech, Company landing page: The company's landing page, designed and built solo in Next.js with Framer Motion. Concept to production alone, tuned for SEO, load time and accessibility.
- ShareMyMenu, Menu sharing platform: A client web app where restaurants publish their menus, so a QR code or link replaces the printed card.
- Luffy, Realtime chat app: Rooms, direct messages, typing and presence over a Socket.io connection. Built to get sockets under my fingers.
- Luffy.to, Anime streaming platform: Catalogue browsing and search with a custom player that tracks episodes and resumes where you left off.
- Medium clone, Blogging website: Rich-text authoring, drafts and tags, with server-rendered article pages. An exercise in content modelling and editor UX.
- Saaras, E-commerce store: Storefront with filtering, cart, checkout and order history, fed by the Saaras CMS. My first pass at commerce flows.
- Spotify clone, Music streaming platform: A persistent player, queue, playlists and search on the Spotify Web API. About audio state that survives navigation.
- Saaras CMS, Content management system: The admin side of Saaras: products, inventory, media and orders behind role-based access.
