Front-end React/TypeScript software engineer building AI and enterprise content features end-to-end.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a front-end React/TypeScript software engineer with 4+ years of experience building React, JavaScript, and TypeScript applications for ed-tech and enterprise content platforms across multiple companies.
I own features end-to-end—from proof of concept and UI/user interface design through development, testing, and production release—often in Agile, distributed teams. I’ve shipped AI-powered features, DAM integrations, and a React Native iOS app, and I focus on getting solutions production-ready with solid testing and code review.
At work, I’ve led development of external React/TypeScript components for Sitecore Content Hub, enabling faster feature releases via CI/CD without core product redeployment. I also designed DAM integration layers, built an AI-powered DAM connector for Sitecore authoring workflows, automated configuration migration during upgrades, and strengthened reliability through Jest unit testing and load testing.
