A WordPress-based LMS powering Nepal's leading upskilling platform with online courses, live training, and industry-recognized certificates.

My role
I built the entire web platform solo for the client company Digital Gurkha. That covered the public site, course catalog, enrollment and checkout, the LMS layer, instructor dashboards, and the editorial workflow the in-house team uses day to day.
Stack
WordPress and a custom LMS layer on top, MySQL for storage, WooCommerce for payments, and PHP plus jQuery on the frontend. Caching and image optimization keep the catalog fast under launch-day load.
