PROJECT / 01Multi-tenant SaaS · 2026Live

Scholara

A school management platform for Nepal, rebuilt from a single-school prototype into a multi-tenant SaaS. One platform for preschools, schools and colleges, with a web console for staff and a mobile app for parents.

THE ENGINEERING

Shared infrastructure. Separate worlds.

Pooled multi-tenancy

Every table carries an org_id and Postgres row-level security isolates each school. The tenant rides in the JWT, so every policy is a single indexed check.

Web + mobile, one backend

A Next.js admin console and an Expo parent app share one typed Supabase backend.

Security-first

Hardened auth, no-store caching on private pages and shared-device-safe sign-out.

Built to scale

Search, filters and pagination on every list; aggregation happens in the database, never in the client.

THE ENGINEERING

Complex operations. Clear decisions.

Real-time by default

Socket.io pushes every status change, assignment and note to connected dispatchers. No refresh button.

SLA engine

Deadlines computed per customer tier and surfaced as live badges before anything breaches.

Conflict-aware scheduling

Assigning a technician checks for overlapping jobs before the dispatcher commits.

Hardened auth

JWT access tokens with refresh rotation, five permission roles and rate-limited auth endpoints.

02 /THE WAY I THINK

Curiosity is
the constant.

Based in Sydney.
Thinking across the whole stack.

The best software makes the complicated feel obvious.

I like software that holds up under real use. Systems where a status change reaches the dispatcher in milliseconds. Platforms where one school can never see another school's data. Apps that feel native on every screen. I care about the whole path: schema, API, state, pixel. And I'm always building the next thing.

01

Understand first.

Start with the people and the problem. Then choose the tools.

02

Own the whole path.

Data, APIs, interfaces. The seams matter as much as the pieces.

03

Care about the finish.

A clear error, a fast interaction, a sensible default. Details earn trust.

03 /EXPERIENCE

Different teams.
Shared ambition.

From global platforms to Australian finance.
