Kaushal Kishor Mishra

Software Engineer Kathmandu, Nepal

I work where the data model meets the person using it — lately that has meant AI tooling that has to be right, not just fluent.

About

What I do

Born and brought up in Nepal. I build web applications end to end — mostly TypeScript, React and Next.js.

I like writing code, which is a stranger thing to like than it used to be. AI took part of the craft and gave back two things: I learn something properly in days rather than months, and I can build better tools for the people who actually use them.

Right now that is Tangible, a careers platform at Arbyte Solutions, plus the tooling I build around my own workflow — most of it public.

What I build

  1. Data

    Schemas, and the queries that run over them.

    PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis

  2. API

    The services in between.

    TypeScript · Node.js · Python

  3. Interface

    The part someone who is not an engineer actually uses.

    React · Next.js

How I work

  1. 01

    Measure, don’t assume

    The defects worth fixing are the ones nothing revealed until it was measured rather than reasoned about.

  2. 02

    Read-only by default

    Anything that can write should have to ask. The safest default is the one nobody has to remember.

  3. 03

    Verify what shipped

    Claims get checked against built output and live responses, not against the source that was supposed to produce them.

Claropo

AI lessons that ask before they teach

A ByteJar product — an AI teaching platform that generates narrated lessons as a conversation between a professor, a curious student and a skeptic, with interactive simulations, grade-calibrated quizzes and teacher oversight tools.

  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
The ByteJar site: a dark page headed "Precision engineering for ambitious leaders", over streaks of violet light.

ByteJar

The studio I co-founded

An engineering studio in Kathmandu providing fractional technical leadership, cloud architecture, product engineering and security audits, delivered by small senior teams rather than as a vendor.

Text-to-SQL MCP server

A Model Context Protocol server that lets an LLM query PostgreSQL and MySQL in plain English. Read-only by design: it introspects the schema, plans the query, and refuses anything that would write.
