I make the webfeel handmadeagain.

Websites with real motion, built carefully in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Day job: large web applications. Evenings: the fun stuff.

I like my day job. It is long-running product work: the same application, year after year, kept healthy and growing for people who depend on it. That teaches you a lot about what holds up. It also means most weeks look like the week before.

Freelance is where I go to do something different. A new brand, a blank page, a chance to try an idea I have been sitting on. I take a couple of projects a year, on my own time, and I pick the ones I actually want to build. The result is work I care about, done by someone who is not in a hurry.

I build with AI as a second pair of hands. It writes a lot of the first draft; I decide what gets built, what gets thrown away, and whether it's actually good. This site was made that way, in days rather than weeks.

Colombo, Sri Lanka. Born here, still here. I work from home for teams anywhere: the light is gold by five, the time zone touches everyone's working day, and every site I make starts at this desk.

Sri Lanka sits at UTC+5:30. Mornings overlap with Sydney and Singapore, afternoons with Berlin and London, evenings with New York. Async by default, on a call when it counts — the time difference has never been the hard part.
