Tekkon, Perth (2026)

In Nepal, the interview question is no longer:

“What tools are you using?”

It’s:

“What’s your favourite AI coding tool these days?”

Cursor.
Claude.
GitHub Copilot.

That’s what we’re hearing more and more from developers.

The shift to AI-assisted development in Nepal has been fast.

Developers here have always adopted new tools quickly - but over the last 12–18 months the pace of experimentation with AI coding assistants has been remarkable.

We’re seeing the impact with our clients too.

Startups working with Tekkon are combining lean teams of Tekkies + AI-augmented development to deliver features much faster.

Part of the momentum is also coming from the ecosystem.

Communities like Build Club Nepal are popping up where engineers meet to build AI tools, agents and side projects together.

The culture isn’t just about learning frameworks anymore.

It’s about experimenting, shipping fast, and figuring out how AI fits into modern development.

I recently spoke with one of our lead developers who has been heavily using Cursor with one of our startup clients.

His biggest takeaway?

The developer’s role is evolving.

Instead of manually writing every line of code, developers are becoming orchestrators:

• understanding architecture
• breaking down requirements
• structuring prompts
• reviewing outputs
• setting guardrails

The manual typing layer of development is disappearing.

But experience matters more than ever.

AI can generate code fast.
Without strong fundamentals, it can also generate technical debt just as quickly.

In the hands of experienced engineers though, the leverage is enormous.

Developers can move across codebases faster, prototype quicker, and focus more on architecture and problem solving.

AI isn’t replacing developers.

It’s amplifying the ones who know how to use it well.

At the end of the day, our Tekkies work inside your tools, systems and development environments.

But more and more founders are also tapping into their AI-augmented development skills - helping teams ship faster and accelerate speed to market.

It’s always great when we get awesome feedback from our clients.

This time from Kale Miller - Founder of Prometheus AI and a specialist in AI and Data.

He has been working with our UI/UX Designer and had some great comments about his work.

If you weren’t aware already, we have both UI/UX Designers and DevOps engineers available in house and ready to work with you ad-hoc on day rates.

It’s also a great way to test our Tekkie (Techie) AI-Native Staff Augmentation model - and also to see why clients continue to scale their development teams with us.

New Free Guide - A Founder’s Guide to Working with Remote Developers!

Hiring remote developers can feel risky - especially if you’ve been burnt before.

Maybe you worked with a freelancer who disappeared, or struggled to get visibility into the process.

Maybe things just didn’t click.

But here’s the truth: remote isn’t risky when it’s done right.

In fact, for startups with limited runway, remote can be the smartest way to scale - if you’ve got the right setup, systems, and mindset.

This guide walks you through the three most important pillars of making remote work succeed:

- Mindset: How to set expectations and communicate effectively
- Tools: What to use for visibility, progress tracking, and collaboration
- Team approach: How to embed remote devs like core team members

And that’s why we created this guide - “Founder’s Guide to Working with Remote Developers” to give you that extra boost of confidence from the start of working with a dev - no matter if you’re a non-tech founder, or tech founder looking to scale.

Want a copy of the guide ? DM or Comment ‘Guide’ and we’ll send it over!

We have been asked quite often lately ...
“With the surge in AI, are you seeing less demand for developers?”

Short answer? H*ll no.
Longer answer: hiring is getting smarter.

Founders are less likely to build bigger (or bloated) teams.

More and more they’re starting with lead/senior or founding devs, staying lean, and adding the right roles only when the product or business demands it.

AI isn’t replacing great developers - it’s amplifying the best ones.

If you’re scaling smart (not big), this shift matters.

We can hire for all kinds of roles, so if you’re exploring your options, then we’d love to help!

Keeping your startup as lean as possible probably means hiring JUST ONE developer?

But how do you make that one hire ACTUALLY count?

If you’re bootstrapped or on limited runway, your first dev hire matters more than anything - and can be the difference between making or breaking your startup ...

At Tekkon, we help startups find lead and senior full-stack devs who can help build your first MVP or product - end-to-end fast, lean, and without the fluff.

No placement fees. A low-risk starting 10-day trial (not 6 month probation). And a dev that hits the ground running, embedded into your tools and stack.

Here are 3 of our top-performing Tekkies - to give you an example of their awesome skills:

Senior Full-stack Tekkie:
- React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript
- GraphQL, Prisma, PostgreSQL
- Clean UI, Tailwind, Vercel
- Unit testing with Jest
- Built web + mobile MVPs solo

Software Architect / Lead Tekkie (hands-on):
- Python, Go, React, Django
- AWS, Docker, Kubernetes
- Microservices, Terraform
- Strong testing coverage & architecture
- Led AI + data-heavy builds

Another Senior Full-Stack Tekkie
- Next.js, Node, Express
- GraphQL, Firebase, Stripe
- AWS, CI/CD pipelines
- Unit testing & E2E coverage
- Built + shipped full product stacks

And if you need some UI/UX or DevOps to fill in any gaps?

We can plug those gaps with in-house specialists, available ad-hoc on daily rates. So, you only pay when they are needed.

Want to see profiles like these?

We can help you find expert Tekkies, that will truly get your initial MVP or product off the ground, lean and fast, without any placement fees or exorbitant local hiring costs.

Working through Dec / Jan or taking a break?

In Australia, having our summer vacation / school holidays during this time means one of a few things ...

You’re closing up shop over the Christmas and New Years period and maximising time with family and friends.

OR

You’re working furiously on your startup to get the next release or even MVP out (I know a few of you in this boat 😅)

OR

You find this as opportune downtime to work on that side project while things die around your main gig.

In Japan, while it’s the opposite season of winter, this is also one of those rare times most businesses close and many get to spend a few days with families to gather and reconnect.

Although, I’m sure I know a few people in startup land over there who are probably working through!

In Nepal, the festive season happens around Sept-Oct each year, so they tend to work through the Dec / Jan season - until recently, with many global companies in the tech sector giving staff New Year’s Day off, and the same goes for Tekkon Nepal.

Similar, the Tekkon offices in Perth and Sydney will be working through Dec / Jan with the only time off being 25th & 26th of Dec and 1st of Jan.

Especially, as we find this can be one of the busiest (and best) seasons for us.

So, if you DO need us, don’t worry - we’ll be around!

Anyway, what’s your actual plans for the Dec / Jan break ?

Downtime with family/friends, working on something exciting or it’s BAU (business as usual) furiously working on the next release or MVP launch?
