I'm a 17-year-old self-taught full-stack developer from Sri Lanka. I first got into coding at the age of 12 during the COVID-19 lockdown by participating in the Bits20 Hosted by my school ICT Society. I ended up getting 5^TH place in the competition which motivated me to learn more about coding. After Bits20 I got interested in Discord Bots, I got into coding Discord Bots with the help of a senior member of the ICT Society, Pasindu Ranasinghe. I consider him my mentor, he helped me understand how JS , Node.js and Databases works.

Eventually, thru trial and error, a lot of google searches, a lot of youtube videos, I learnt fully learnt HTML, CSS, JS and Nodejs. After that I participated in Bits22 and got 4^TH place. Thru bits22 I made some new friends that share the same interest in coding as me. After Bits22, I started learning back-end web development with Node.js and Express.js. With the knowledge of back-end development, I joined a project some of my friends from Bits22 were working on, a WebApp called Techlore. I became the back-end developer of the project and made the webapp dynamic and interactive.

After Techlore, I started working on my own project and sharpened my UI skills. Now I am a full-stack developer with a strong focus on back-end development. I am currently a senior member of ACICTS and, I'm also a member in a open source community called OpenRockects. I'm currently working on some side-projects like this refreshed portfolio.
