Real industry
experience.
Not theory.

I'm a Senior Backend & Full-Stack Engineer with 13 years of experience building large-scale systems across fintech, energy, retail, and data engineering — from Sri Lanka to the UK to the Netherlands.

I've worked on enterprise applications serving billion-dollar companies — systems handling millions of records, real production failures at 3am, and the kind of architectural decisions that don't get taught in any classroom.

I've been on both sides of the hiring table. I know exactly what separates candidates who get hired from those who don't — and I'll teach you how to close that gap.

What sets this apart
◆ Worked on systems processing 47M+ records in production
◆ Enterprise clients include billion-dollar global brands
◆ Real production incidents — not just tutorial-level knowledge
◆ 13 years across 5 countries, multiple industries & tech stacks
