SELECTED WORK

The problem, what I built, and what changed.

Padhum LMS

Problem
Padhum needed a complete online learning platform, with courses, payments, mock tests and live classes, and had no team to build it.
Result
One developer delivered the whole platform. It runs in production at lms.padhum.com.
  • React
  • Vite
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Express.js
  • MongoDB

ClampHook Mobile App

Problem
ClampHook's app was hard to use, short on features, and not yet on iOS.
Result
Live on the App Store with a new design, push notifications, and a streak system that measurably improved retention. The app got smaller too.
  • Flutter
  • Firebase
  • CI/CD

ClampHook Entrance Preparation

Problem
ClampHook's entrance preparation platform needed to load faster, rank higher and take payments safely, with one developer running all of IT.
Result
Better Core Web Vitals and organic search performance, a critical payment security gap closed, and video streaming locked down with signed, encrypted URLs.
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS

CareerPana

Problem
Students in Nepal had no single place to find and compare colleges.
Result
Built solo, from database to interface. Live at careerpana.com.
  • React
  • Vite
  • MongoDB
  • Express.js

SEVAK App

Problem
A new gig platform for Nepal needed a mobile app and the backend to run it.
Result
App and API delivered together by one developer, so they were built against one data model from day one.
  • Flutter
  • MongoDB
  • Express.js

Start — New Tab Extension

Problem
Most new tab extensions are slow, want an account, and track what you do.
Result
Open source on GitHub. No accounts, no tracking, and nothing leaves the browser.
  • Browser Extension
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • CSS

SERVICES

  • WEBSITES THAT BRING IN CUSTOMERS

    For small businesses that need to be found on Google, and to look credible once they are.

    A fast, mobile-first site with the SEO, Core Web Vitals and schema markup that move it up the search results.

  • WEB APPS & PLATFORMS

    For businesses that need logins, payments, bookings or a dashboard.

    React and Next.js with a Node.js backend, built end to end: database, admin panel, security and deployment.

  • MOBILE APPS

    For businesses that want iOS and Android from one codebase.

    Flutter apps taken all the way to the App Store and Play Store, with push notifications, automated releases and fixes after launch.

ABOUT

I'm Nishant, a full-stack developer who builds the whole product: the website or app, the backend behind it, and the SEO and speed work that gets it found. Small businesses hire me because one person owns the build from first call to launch, and stays for the fixes after.

How I work

  • You talk to the person building it

    No account managers, no hand-offs. Your questions come straight to me.

  • Scope and dates agreed first

    You know what you're getting and when, before any code is written.

  • Progress you can click

    You review a working preview while it's built, so changes happen early, not after launch.
