About Me

Crafting Digital Experiences That Matter

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience building high-performance web applications, from cinema booking platforms to government systems used across Nepal.

I work mostly with Next.js, React, and TypeScript on the frontend and NestJS on the backend. At TechTone I built Picovico, a cinema platform that has processed 275K+ tickets, and designed the Turborepo monorepo behind it.

I like hard real-time problems: live seat maps over WebSockets, POS-to-display sync with Server-Sent Events, and multi-tenant theming that lets one codebase serve many brands.

I care about code quality: automated testing with Vitest, Conventional Commits, and PR reviews. I also hold a Master's in Data Science, which helps me design data-heavy features with care.

May 2026 – Present

Bhaktapur, Nepal

  • ▹Developing ENSSURE, a Training Management Information System for a vocational skills-development program: a multi-module monolith with an Inertia.js (Vue 3) frontend for managing training providers, contracts, trainees, and program reporting.
  • ▹Built a full-stack Event Management System that digitizes event creation, scheduling, registration, and attendee tracking, with a role-based dashboard giving organizers control of the full event lifecycle.
  • ▹Implemented granular role-based access control with Spatie Permissions, using per-resource policies and a resource.action model enforced in both backend controllers and the frontend.
  • ▹Engineered automated notification flows for registrations, confirmations, and reminders, plus analytics views for attendance and event performance.
  • ▹Architected a repository-pattern data layer that decouples controllers from the ORM, built reusable component-driven UIs, and migrated legacy CodeIgniter reports into the new reporting engine.

Sep 2023 – Feb 2026

Lalitpur, Nepal

  • ▹Developed and maintained Picovico, a cinema management platform of 4 interconnected applications (Admin Panels, Customer Web, POS) built with Next.js, React 18/19, and NestJS. It manages 20+ screens, has processed 275K+ tickets, and maps 8K+ seats across live auditoriums.
  • ▹Shipped production booking sites for cinemas across Nepal, including Big Movies, Cine Royale, Central Multiplex, City Cinemas, SK Cinema, and GSF Cinema.
  • ▹Built a JSON-driven multi-tenant theming system, so each cinema runs a fully branded customer site from a single shared codebase.
  • ▹Built the real-time core: a live seat-layout renderer over WebSockets and POS-to-display order sync using the BroadcastChannel API and Server-Sent Events.
  • ▹Designed the Turborepo monorepo with shared UI libraries and centralized ESLint/TS configs, and kept quality high with Vitest and React Testing Library on business-critical modules.
