Tickle
SaaS · Frontend architecture
A two-sided cleaning service platform needed to ship booking and operations flows to early users while reducing frontend instability and post-release defects.
Hire a React developer who stabilizes and scales frontends
I'm Sheshan Bandara, a senior engineer who has owned React frontend architecture for production SaaS used by real customers. If you want to hire a React developer to ship features fast without the frontend quietly turning to spaghetti, that's where I'm strongest.
I work across React, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux and Zustand, and Tailwind, with Vitest and Playwright coverage around the flows that matter. As a frontend engineer I focus on state boundaries, data contracts, and the test discipline that keeps releases boring.
What you get
Frontend architecture that holds
Clear state and data boundaries so the codebase stays maintainable as the team and product grow, instead of becoming the file nobody wants to touch.
Fewer post-release defects
Improved Tickle pilot stability by adding Vitest and Playwright coverage for critical flows, reducing repeat UAT issues and post-release frontend defects
Senior React + Next.js range
From SPA dashboards to server-rendered Next.js apps, with performance and accessibility built in rather than bolted on at the end.
Selected work
UniStream
EdTech · Microservices · Video
The existing lecture video platform had become difficult to scale and maintain. Playback was inconsistent, analytics and logs became unreliable under load, and lecturers sometimes waited overnight before uploads were ready to stream.
Monastery Operations Platform
SaaS · Multi-tenant · Bilingual
A multi-branch institution was managing finance, alms schedules, donor pledges, and branch records across paper logbooks. Visitors also relied on printed signs or staff explanations to find information on site.
FAQ
Can you work with our existing React codebase?
Yes. A lot of my work is improving existing frontends: untangling state, adding test coverage, and stabilizing releases without a dramatic from-scratch rewrite.
Do you do React Native or mobile?
My focus is web React and Next.js. I've shipped responsive web apps and an Electron desktop app, but native mobile isn't my lane, and I won't pretend it is.
React or Next.js, which do you recommend?
It depends on your SEO and rendering needs. For marketing-visible or content-heavy products I lean Next.js; for internal tools a React SPA is often plenty. I'll recommend based on your case, not on what's trending this month.
