Hi, I'm Nilushan
Full Stack & Cloud Engineer
Passionate about delivering robust, efficient, and high-quality software solutions. My expertise focuses on designing and developing backend services and frontend user interfaces using TypeScript, integrating systems with third-party platforms, and architecting solutions on Google Cloud Platform.
Proven track record in service-oriented architecture development, large-scale IoT integrations, and DevOps practices with consistently high uptime achievements. I excel at analyzing requirements and designing solutions through collaboration, diagramming, and comprehensive documentation.
Committed to implementing engineering best practices to create well-designed, testable, reliable, maintainable, and cost-efficient systems. I always choose the best tools for each purpose rather than reinventing the wheel—leveraging cloud-native open-source frameworks for platform independence or serverless platforms for rapid development and deployment. When needed, I can rapidly develop MVPs with essential functionality by prioritizing the most critical components.
