About Me

A developer who cares as much about the **feeling** of an interface as the architecture behind it — blending design, code, and systems thinking.

I’m Chamikara Bandara, a full‑stack developer with a soft spot for clean UI and calm experiences. I enjoy turning messy ideas into products that feel obvious to use.

I’ve worked with agencies and product teams on websites, dashboards, and internal tools. Today my main stack is Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL — alongside Laravel and React when the project calls for it. My favorite work sits at the intersection of brand, interaction, and performance.

I recently graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Information Technology Specialized in Information Technology from SLIIT and now build production systems full time. Outside of work, I’m usually refining components, exploring new patterns, or learning how other teams ship great products. I’m open to remote roles, freelance projects, and long‑term collaborations.
