Saugat Dhakal — Software Developer

I build software that runs businesses.

Four years inside operational systems — clinics, media platforms, factories, hotels, retail — writing the backend logic, APIs and databases that keep them running in production. Currently a Mid Level Developer at CUBIT Inc., building AKUNA, a clinic management system.

How it comes together

01

Work

Selected systems, built end to end.

Problem

Clinics need one place to manage who's coming in, what's wrong with them, and what they owe — instead of paper charts, a separate ledger, and institutional memory.

System

A Laravel application built around four connected records: appointments, patients, illness/diagnosis history, and billing — so a patient's visit, condition and invoice stay linked.

Contribution

Mid-level developer on the backend, working on the data model and business logic that ties scheduling, clinical records and billing together.

Architecture

Problem

Three separate media clients each need multi-profile streaming — music channels, video channels, and account management — served reliably at scale.

System

A microservices backend handling multi-profile media accounts and channel delivery, storing media assets on AWS S3, with CI/CD pipelines for repeatable production deploys.

Contribution

Backend development within the microservices architecture — API integration and system optimization for content delivery. Version control on Bitbucket, task tracking in Jira.

Architecture

Problem

A biscuit manufacturer needed stock and workflow control across departments, with the right people seeing only what they should.

System

A custom Laravel system built around role-based access control, so warehouse, sales and management operate through permissions scoped to their role.

Contribution

Architected and developed the system from the ground up — schema design, access control logic, and the core business workflows.

Laravel PHP SQL RBAC

Architecture

Problem

A2Z Mobile Store needed working platforms in two different domains — room booking and online retail — shipped and kept running, not just built.

System

Two full-stack Laravel platforms: BalaStay for hotel booking, BalaCraft for e-commerce, alongside loyalty and inventory management for the same client.

Contribution

End-to-end development and deployment — including production releases across Windows Server and cPanel, domain setup and database configuration.

Architecture

Problem

Billing software in active use needs steady maintenance — data integrity, bug fixes and small improvements that don't disrupt daily operation.

System

An existing billing platform maintained through database management and ongoing business data analysis.

Contribution

Debugging, testing, and code review inside a Git/GitHub workflow — my first exposure to production software discipline.

About

How I approach the work.

I like working on software that has to solve an actual operational problem — a clinic that needs to track patients, a factory that needs to track stock, a platform that has to stay up while people stream through it. Not something that just has to look good in a demo.

That's meant spending most of my four years in backend work: data models, APIs, database performance, and the unglamorous parts of shipping — deployment, server configuration, and keeping things running after launch. I learned most of this on real production systems, not tutorials.

I don't start with code. I start with the system.
