I build software with AI. Then I explain what it actually did.

Backend and full-stack engineer at a big tech company. Node, React, Next.js, SQL, and a lot of Claude Code. On Instagram I tell the AI stories worth knowing in sixty seconds, every number sourced on screen.

Who's behind
the handle

I'm Ashmit Mittal, a software engineer in India. My day job is building internal products at a big tech company: Node.js and Express services, React and Next.js front ends, MySQL and Postgres underneath.

Most of that now ships through Claude Code. Living inside these tools every day is why I care about what they actually do when nobody is watching, and why I started @ashmit.codes in September 2026: one AI story per reel, face on camera, diagrams up top, sources on screen.
