Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Developer with 3+ years of experience building scalable web applications using Craft CMS, SilverStripe, and PHP. I’ve delivered enterprise-level websites for UK clients, while working effectively in remote collaboration environments. I focus on API integrations and performance optimization to help teams ship reliable digital experiences.
In my recent role, I developed and maintained enterprise CMS websites, built dynamic Twig templates with Tailwind CSS, and created reusable component patterns. I integrated third-party services like Algolia search, Freeform, Salesforce, and Postmark, and delivered REST API endpoints and webhook integrations for Power Automate and CRM workflows. I also manage local environments with DDEV and deploy via DeployHQ and Bitbucket, and earlier I led a website revamp and built a Leave Management System.
