About Vaibhaw Mishra

That's me, usually in Ranchi.

Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python
Email: vaibhavmishra658@gmail.com

I'm a software engineer based in Ranchi, India, building web software since 2022: first freelance, then an ESG and green-finance platform, then FastAPI and Next.js products with AI features, and now AI website products.

Most of my recent work is AI in production: taking AI site-building features to real users through an A/B launch, and chasing down the quiet failures, like generated copy that never reached the page. The other half is what makes that safe to ship: I write a large share of the tests, set up end-to-end runs, review a lot of pull requests and run releases across several repositories.

I work mostly in JavaScript, TypeScript and Python, and I instrument what I ship so decisions rest on numbers. Outside work I publish a VS Code theme, build Android audio tools in C, and maintain this site, its API and its CMS.

This site

How this site is built

This site is a small product rather than a page. The content comes from an API, is edited in a dashboard and publishes the moment it is saved. Three apps, deployed separately, built and run by one person.
