Apıl Poudel
BSc CSIT student from Gaindakot, Nepal. I’m learning backend development and DevOps, building projects in public, and teaching my friends everything I figure out.
Learning how things work behind the screen
I’m Apil Poudel, a BSc CSIT student at Tribhuvan University in my 5th semester. I was born in Chitwan and now live in Gaindakot, Nepal.
I like servers, databases, and the tools that take an app from my laptop to the internet. Right now I’m focused on backend development with Spring Boot, plus the DevOps side: Git, Docker and Linux. My first big project is Claude Code Compass, a full-stack directory I built with Next.js, Supabase and GitHub Actions. When I understand something, I teach it to my friends, because explaining a topic is the fastest way to find out what I only half understood.

What I’m building
Claude Code Compass 🧭
The unofficial map of the Claude Code universe. A searchable directory of community-built skills and plugins, with AI-written summaries, voting, and a Skill Set Finder that picks tools for your project.
“It works on my machine.” Now it works on Vercel too, which is basically production.
- SKBuilt
Skill Set Finder: describe a project, get a set of tools
- AIBuilt
AI-written summaries and install commands
- DBBuilt
GitHub login and voting, locked down with row-level security
- GAShipping
Nightly discovery, reviewed through pull requests
- +Next
Vote counts and a submit-a-tool form
Web Video Toolkit 🎬
Free video tools that run entirely in your browser. There is no server and nothing is uploaded: the speech-to-text model, the caption renderer and the video editing all run inside the tab. It makes captions and transcripts, changes video speed, crops and trims, and can work through a whole queue of videos at once.
“Your videos never leave your device.” Even the AI runs in your browser.
- CCBuilt
Captions generator: 8 styles, edit words, burned-in MP4 export
- TXBuilt
Transcript generator with TXT, SRT and VTT export
- SPBuilt
Speed changer that keeps the audio in sync
- CTBuilt
Crop and trim with 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 presets
- BQBuilt
Batch captions and batch speed, saved as a ZIP
- UTBuilt
166 unit tests across the logic
- +Next
Batch crop and trim, then deploy
Up next
Spring Boot backends and Docker setups are in progress. They’ll go on my GitHub with proper README files as soon as they’re ready.

Where I’m headed
- 1Backend
Become a solid backend engineer
Spring Boot, clean REST design, security and testing.
- 2DevOps
Learn DevOps end to end
Linux, Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions already in use) and cloud basics.
- 3Shipping
Ship real projects
Claude Code Compass is the first. Spring Boot and Docker projects are next, each with a README that explains it.
- 4Teaching
Keep teaching
Help more friends get started.
