Experience
Vyam – Gym Management SaaS
https://vyam.appThe system includes a check-in system supporting QR codes and fingerprint readers, along with a built-in website builder that lets gym owners generate a branded gym website from their packages and photos in minutes. I developed reporting features covering revenue trends, member retention, and package performance. I also implemented tiered subscription plans (Basic, Standard, Premium) to serve gyms of different sizes, from single-location studios to multi-branch operations.
Solana Discord Bots
https://bots.solanaskypilots.comI also designed and integrated custom utilities tailored to server management and community engagement, addressing needs specific to Web3 and Solana-based Discord servers. I built a user-friendly interface paired with an efficient back end to ensure smooth, real-time interactions across multiple Discord servers simultaneously.
NFT Launchpad
https://launchpad.solanaskypilots.comDocument Management System
I architected the system with a clear separation between database, application, and file server layers, enabling a scalable and maintainable infrastructure. I also incorporated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from scanned documents and used Elasticsearch to power full-text search, allowing users to quickly locate documents based on their actual content rather than just filenames.
Risk Management System
I implemented high- to low-level reporting workflows, enabling risk information to flow from individual branches to executive-level dashboards for compliance and decision-making. I designed and executed complex SQL queries to generate detailed risk reports, giving stakeholders actionable insights to support risk mitigation strategies and regulatory compliance across the banking system.
Trekking and Tour Booking Platform (Multi-tenant)
https://travel.ajt.ltdI implemented an inquiry and trip-planning workflow allowing customers to request custom itineraries directly through the site. I architected the back end to support multiple branded front ends from a single system, powering both Nepal Vacation, Fujiyama Treks & Expedition (https://travel.ajt.ltd) and Voyager Trail Trekking (https://voyager.com.np) as independent products built on shared infrastructure.
Ainda Labs – AI-powered Customs Document Processing
I built the extraction pipeline to generate structured XML output aligned with ASYCUDA and NECAS data schemas, reducing manual data entry for customs agents and streamlining submission to national customs systems. The solution is currently under active development.
