I'm Sheshan Bandara, a senior full-stack web developer and software engineer based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I build production web platforms and SaaS for local teams and international clients, from architecture through deployment.
With 5+ years across 3 companies, 12+ products, and 2 national awards (NBQSA Gold, ICSDB Gold), I bring senior engineering ownership to web projects. Available for work in Sri Lanka and remotely for EU and US-East teams.
Based in Colombo, working to the architecture and production discipline of international SaaS teams. Same time zone as you, hopefully better commit messages.
React and Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL and Supabase, and AWS, with the whole stack owned end to end.
National recognition (NBQSA Gold, ICSDB Gold 2022) and platforms serving 25k+ daily users without falling over.
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.
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.
Entrepreneurship · Ecommerce
A family wholesale business lost all retail orders overnight when COVID-19 shut down brick-and-mortar shops. The operation had no online presence, no brand identity, and no direct-to-consumer channel.
Yes. I take on web development and software engineering projects for Sri Lankan businesses, alongside remote international work.
Yes. I'm based in Colombo (UTC+5:30) and work async with EU and US-East teams, with live calls when decisions need them. The coffee here is good enough to keep odd hours.
Production web platforms, SaaS, internal tools, and senior engineering ownership where architecture and delivery quality actually matter.
