Message

For LegalGPT Nepal, I served as Backend Lead on a final-year project and architected an async FastAPI service with REST and WebSocket endpoints. I designed its PostgreSQL data layer and implemented OAuth2 and JWT authentication, while a dedicated AI Lead owned model integration.

I also implemented token-by-token WebSocket streaming for LegalGPT Nepal’s live chat. The project references the Constitution and Laws of Nepal.

On ChessSansar, I built the backend service for the REST API and WebSocket layer, including real-time move synchronization for multiplayer games. I also implemented user authentication, and the project shipped to production.

As a freelance technical consultant and tutor at Studypool.com, I solved programming assignments and technical problems in C, C++, Python, and Java, and debugged and refactored third-party codebases. I also contributed backend logic and API wiring to AgriGuru, a hackathon project built on Django.
