Featured Projects
Food Ordering System – Microservices
2023
Developed a robust food ordering platform using NestJS within an Nx monorepo, architected with clearly defined microservices for User, Restaurant, Order, and Wallet domains. Implemented Nginx as an API Gateway to route traffic efficiently across services. The system was fully containerized using Docker and Docker Compose, ensuring consistent environments and simplified deployment. Followed Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles with modular code structure and leveraged Nx libraries to share logic and utilities across services. This design supports scalability, maintainability, and independent service development.

MineMalia Network - Minecraft Server Website
2023
Designed and developed a full-featured website for a Minecraft server as a solo developer, acting as the central hub for community engagement. The site provides real-time server information, player statistics, and community resources, enhancing user interaction and retention. Built with Next.js for SEO optimization and performance, and styled with Tailwind CSS for a responsive, game-themed interface. Utilized PocketBase as a lightweight backend to handle data storage and authentication. The application is fully containerized with Docker and deployed using Nginx, ensuring reliable and scalable delivery.

Furnmandu - E-commerce Platform
2024
Collaborated with the development team at Chautari Digitals to create a fully-featured e-commerce website for furniture products. The platform allows customers to browse, search, and purchase furniture items with a streamlined checkout process. I contributed to both frontend and backend development, ensuring authentication, user profile management, and secure authorization processing. The site was built with modern web technologies to provide an optimal shopping experience while maintaining fast load times and search engine visibility.

FundMe - Financial Management System
