With over 14 years of experience in web development and software engineering, my journey has spanned continents and roles—from remote work with an Australian company while based in Sri Lanka to becoming a software engineer in London, and now leading a global web development team remotely from the UK. Along the way, I’ve embraced challenges, pursued growth, and cultivated a passion for building innovative solutions. I hope my story inspires you to pursue excellence in your own career.
As a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner and an enthusiastic leader in the tech space, I bring a wealth of technical expertise across a broad range of domains, including:
• PHP, Symfony, Laravel, Angular, Typescript, NodeJS
• Python, Flask, OpenAI, SCSS/CSS, HTML
• MYSQL, MSSQL, Oracle, InfluxDB, Grafana
• DevOps, GitLab, Agile Development
• Microsoft Azure, Azure Kubernetes Services, Amazon AWS, IBM Cloud

In my current role as Web Development Team Leader at MYHSM, I lead the web department and drive the development of web and cloud-based SaaS products. I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and work closely with business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into actionable tasks, ensuring timely delivery using agile methodologies. My hands-on approach spans everything from system architecture to cloud services and third-party integrations, such as Salesforce.
I thrive on the challenges of motivating teams, managing projects, and solving complex problems. I’m dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, constantly seeking ways to elevate my skills and knowledge. Some of the projects I’ve developed include:
🌐 APIDocumenter (https://www.apidocumenter.com) – A tool for generating API documentation, presented at Symfony Meetup
🌐 TimelineMe.com (https://timelineme.com) – A platform for creating personal timelines
Outside of my professional life, I’m passionate about cricket, where I’m currently an opening batsman for Royston CC 2nd XI. I also enjoy long-distance running, hiking, landscape photography, and exploring the beautiful National Trust and RSPB sites around the UK. You can check out my photography work here:
