## How I work

### 01 Start at the constraint

Before any code, I map the domain and the failure modes. What breaks under concurrency, what has to stay correct when a job retries, what the deadline actually protects. The constraint decides the design; the feature list does not.

### 02 Ship the thin slice

The smallest version that runs end to end, deployed, with the boring parts boring: typed, migrated, observable. No abstraction until the second time I need it. You see something working early enough to change your mind cheaply.

### 03 Own it in production

Deployment, the bugs after it, and the documentation written while I build rather than promised for later. If an estimate is going to slip, you hear it the day I know instead of the week it lands.

## Where I have worked

### Freelance Full-Stack Developer, Independent (Dec 2025 - Present)

- Gradsy: sole engineer on a study-abroad application platform in Next.js, NestJS and PostgreSQL on AWS. Built three role-scoped dashboards — student, counselor, admin — behind a default-deny API, enforced booking concurrency with database constraints, and made jobs retry-safe.
- Noveon: site for a Hong Kong investment firm on Next.js and a self-hosted Strapi CMS. Every page is a CMS entry, so marketing and compliance edit regulator-facing copy without a developer, and six investor pages render from two templates.
- Marti China: corporate site for an engineering company on Next.js with Strapi.

### Full-Stack Engineer, Milo Logic (Aug 2025 - Aug 2026)

- Built enterprise multi-tenant architecture serving multiple organizations from one deployment, with tenant scoping at the data layer and custom domain support so each organization serves on its own domain.
- Shipped a block-based website builder and a drag-and-drop form builder, letting non-technical users compose pages, define fields and validation, and publish without a developer.
- Built revenue and analytics dashboards and master data models that keep reference data centrally managed while each organization maintains its own overrides.
- Architected shared React and TypeScript component libraries and design-system primitives adopted across 7 products by a 9-person engineering team, and cut JavaScript bundle size to reduce page load times.

### Full-Stack Engineer, Azminds Services (Aug 2024 - Jul 2025)

- Yachtcloud: live multi-tenant yacht booking platform where each operator runs as its own business under one admin panel. Built the remaining booking flows and third-party integrations, then used Hotjar recordings and funnel data to find checkout drop-offs and simplify the flow. Tripled sales.
- Driving School Wiz: multi-tenant platform serving 5 driving schools, each on its own subdomain, with subdomain scoping on every request so one owner can run multiple schools without data crossover. Real-time instructor scheduling and assignment tracking.

### Associate Frontend Developer, Azminds Services (Apr 2023 - Jul 2024)

- Built pension and revenue management modules for the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), a Government of Nepal agency, giving staff a single tracked record of pension disbursements and revenue entries.
- Shipped production React and Next.js features with Redux Toolkit and Redux Saga for complex asynchronous flows, migrated JavaScript codebases to TypeScript, and optimized fetching and caching with React Query.

### Junior Frontend Developer (promoted from Intern), Lanceme Up (Jan 2022 - Mar 2023)

- Delivered 4+ client React applications with Redux Toolkit and Material UI from Figma designs, including multi-locale builds with i18n over REST APIs.
