Co-founded BCTians Resources startup to help students to prepare for their exams. Study resources for Computer Engineering course affiliated to Tribhuvan University can be accessed through a BCTians Resources web app. The app runs on a server-less technology. Where back-end of the app completely relies on Google Drive, Google Sheets and Google Apps Script. Firebase is used for authentication. The front-end of the app is developed using React.js and deployed on Firebase. The archive of study resources is collaboratively managed by students. The app has high traffic during exam time and normal traffic during the semester. Students have been relying on this app to prepare for their exams.

Explored IoT and different domains of engineering such as electrical, electronics to analyze the problem and find it's solutions. Project Bulletin-Board was developed using Raspberry Pi to built kiosks at a low cost. This kiosk helped to an easy broadcast of the company's internal information. Project Junkiri helped to transform dumb electric light switches into smart switches by using NodeMCU. An IoT device placed at an electric switch was controlled by the server which could be controlled by an app and thus helping to switch lights.Implemented various and automation project to smooth the company's internal process. Google Apps Script was used to automate all mundane office tasks and help HR to lower their tasks.Learned and implement new tech stacks at a fast pace to built prototypes. These prototypes were used to test the feasibility of the idea and demo of concepts to clients. Some of the example projects are chatbots, health graphs, etc.Motivated Leapfrog engineers to manage extra time to explore new tools and technologies. Formed and mentored different groups of peoples to initiate various internal projects at Leapfrog.

Transformed traditional Windows lab to Linux lab, by implementing Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP). Students were able to access both Windows and Linux from the same lab. The cost of setting up a new Linux lab from scratch was drastically reduced because of the implementation of thin client technologies. Ubuntu server was installed on a powerful machine and remaining PCs were acted as thin clients. All thin client used PXE to boot from network and share resources from the main server.

Designed, developed and maintained online exam web app. Deployed the web app in computer labs to take the test. Conducted online exam for primary school students.
