Hello! My name is Janaka, and I am a software developer and a final-year master's student at Torrens University Australia. I am passionate about creating beautiful and interactive web applications that provide the best user experience. Additionally, I have a keen interest in new technologies and enjoy crafting and DIY activities. I love mechanical keyboards 😎.
I was born in Sri Lanka and currently live in Melbourne. I hold a bachelor's degree in Chemical and Process Engineering. After graduating, I worked in the sugar manufacturing industry, I worked in the sugar manufacturing industry, where I held an engineering role that involved managing and improving the production process.
During the COVID pandemic, I decided to chase my childhood dream of being a programmer and jumped into coding. I joined Le Wagon coding bootcamp, where I learned the elegant web framework, Ruby on Rails ❤️. Since then, I've picked up and used a range of tech in development, deployment, management, data, and AI/ML.
I currently work as a Ruby on Rails developer at Swivel Group, a role focused on developing and maintaining backend services for a Ruby on Rails-based Strata Management System. If you are looking to build a web application or collaborate on an exciting project, feel free to message me. Let's work together!
