I lead frontend teams building scalable, high-quality web platforms.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
At BuildBear Labs, I lead the frontend team for a Web3 developer-testing platform, owning the roadmap, OKRs, technical direction, and engineering standards. I built a scalable design system and frontend architecture across the blockchain explorer, dashboard, faucet, and LLM-assisted documentation portal, reducing design-engineering time cost by 60%.
Through Karapincha Studio, I’ve led zero-downtime migrations for Tesla Official Club, John Morris Group, and RareSkills, modernizing high-volume e-commerce and enterprise platforms with Next.js. I also built an enterprise POS platform now used across 70+ retail locations for 40+ businesses, plus a membership platform serving 20,000+ monthly active members.
Previously at Amplifyn, I grew from Senior Software Engineer to Tech Lead, leading a six-person team across fintech, transport, and healthcare work. I established quality-control, testing, and CI/CD practices while mentoring engineers and partnering closely with design, backend, and client teams.
I bring 13+ years of hands-on frontend engineering across React, Next.js, TypeScript, accessibility, performance, design systems, and developer experience. I also founded and maintain Sri Lanka’s Web Developers Group, a 66,000+ member community promoting web development and collaboration.
