Software Developer & Builder — Colombo, Sri Lanka
I build software that's fast, simple, and honest about what it does. I've spent the last three years working across the full stack — from CLI tools to APIs to web apps — with a consistent focus on reducing complexity rather than adding to it.
Experience
Independent
Building web applications, APIs, and tools for clients across e-commerce, fintech, and media. Projects range from greenfield builds to inheriting and cleaning up existing codebases. Consistent focus on delivery speed and maintainability over feature bloat.
Company Name, Colombo
Worked on internal tooling and customer-facing features for a mid-sized product team. Primarily React and Node.js. Introduced automated testing to a codebase that had none, reducing regression rate noticeably within three months.
Company Name, Colombo
First real exposure to production code. Spent six months fixing bugs, writing tests, and slowly getting trusted with small features. Learned more in six months than in two years of coursework.
