Hi, I'm Nadun Liyanage

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 17+ years transforming complex business challenges into elegant technical solutions across EdTech, marketplace platforms, and government systems. My expertise spans the full technology stack—from architecting microservices handling billions of data points to crafting intuitive user experiences with modern frameworks.

I specialize in PHP/Laravel and React/NextJS ecosystems, complemented by deep experience in Python for data engineering, AWS cloud infrastructure, and event-driven architectures. My Master's in IT & Strategic Innovation from Kingston University, combined with British Computer Society professional certification, provides the theoretical foundation that guides my practical approach to system design.

What distinguishes my career is the dual focus on building and teaching. Beyond delivering production systems—from multi-tenant SaaS platforms to government compliance solutions managing 24-district operations—I've spent over a decade training developers in professional ICT programs. This continuous teaching practice sharpens my ability to architect maintainable systems and communicate complex technical concepts effectively.

Whether implementing Apache Airflow data pipelines processing millions of records, designing database schemas supporting complex hierarchical data, or establishing coding standards that elevate team performance, I approach every challenge with the same philosophy: create solutions that are simply brilliant—technically sound, user-focused, and built to scale.
