Suman Kunwar: I build software that schools and businesses in Nepal use every day.

At Virgu Technology I worked on FullBagERP and FullBagAccounting as one of the company's first developers, and I built the FullBag transport app on my own. I'm now in Rome, studying for a master's in Computer Science at Sapienza University.

Sole developer

FullBag transport app

A React Native driver app that shares a school vehicle's live location with school admins and parents, and records student attendance by QR code.

  • Every position is saved on the phone first, so nothing is lost without signal
  • One app for every school, signed in with a school code
  • QR code student attendance on the vehicle

    • One of the first developers hired, working on FullBagERP (school management) and FullBagAccounting (cloud accounting) from their early versions as the team grew to about 15 people.

    • In FullBagAccounting I built master data, Nepal Rastra Bank exchange rates, voucher numbering by Nepali financial year, and the Cash/Bank, Journal and Debit/Credit Note screens.
    • Built the FullBag transport app alone in React Native: live vehicle location for school admins and parents, an offline queue so no position is lost when signal drops, and QR code student attendance.

About

I grew up in Nepal and spent six years of my childhood in India. I started in tech on the business side, running e-commerce and digital marketing for online stores, and the more I worked with the software behind them, the more I wanted to build it myself. Since 2024 I've worked as a developer, and the software I helped build now runs attendance, exams, fees and accounts for schools and businesses in Nepal.

In Rome I'm studying for my master's at Sapienza and looking for a team where I can keep building useful products part-time while I study.

Hiring in Rome, or remote in Italy?
