About Abhiyan Khanal
I build web and mobile apps end to end, from the database schema to the button you tap. Lately I've been spending more time on the backend and the cloud side of things.
I'm a computer engineering student in Lalitpur who got hooked on building things that people actually use. Most of my work is JavaScript and TypeScript on the web, Flutter on mobile, and PostgreSQL underneath. I care about code that's easy for the next person to read, and apps that don't make users think too hard.

Present
I take on client projects across the whole stack: React and Next.js on the front, Node.js, Express and Supabase on the back, PostgreSQL for data, and Flutter when it needs to be a phone app. I usually own a feature from the first sketch to deployment.
- Janakpur Fish House (janakpurfishhouse.com): React and Node.js website for a Mithila-style fish restaurant in Kathmandu, with a menu, gallery, news and press section, contact form and a login-protected admin site for managing gallery photos and news.
- Hamro Bus: intercity bus booking site with search, a seat map and an operator admin dashboard.
