// Architecting solutions where technology meets human need

Who Is Sithulaka?

I'm a 20-year-old solo founder and full-stack developer from Sri Lanka. I'm the founder of MarriFlow - a dual-sided wedding planning SaaS for Sri Lanka - and co-founder of Ceylond, a digital agency. I'm currently a BIT undergraduate at the University of Colombo School of Computing (UCSC).

/* Stack */
I build across the full stack - frontend, backend, embedded systems, and AI. Primary stack: Next.js, NestJS, TypeScript, Python, C++, Cloudflare Workers, ERPNext, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I also work with IoT (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, DMX-512) and AI integration (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic APIs). I practice build-in-public and document my process across LinkedIn and my blog.

/* Life Philosophy */
"Truth is beautiful, even when messy." I'm an advocate for ethical technology and open-source collaboration. My approach combines technical excellence with creative problem-solving, always keeping human needs at the center.

Personal Philosophy

"Code with conscience, build with empathy. I believe technology should enhance human potential, not replace it. My goal is to create tools that solve real problems."

"Truth is beautiful, even when messy. I advocate for ethical tech and open-source learning. The most authentic solutions often come from embracing complexity rather than hiding it."

"Balance is essential. The best ideas come when living in harmony with nature, family, and technology. My long-term vision is a peaceful rural life balanced with technological innovation."
