Hi, I’m Selvaratnam Piragash, a mobile-first engineer with 3+ years of experience shipping production-grade cross-platform iOS and Android apps using React Native and Expo, backed by full-stack expertise in Vue.js and Laravel. I’ve delivered live apps on the App Store and Google Play, and I own REST API integrations, payment gateway integrations (Xendit, Stripe), AWS serverless deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and role-based access control systems. I thrive in small, fast-moving teams, taking features from Figma to production. In my current role at a Sri Lankan software agency, I’ve led initiatives to optimize performance, introduced reusable component libraries, and architected microservices to decouple API responsibilities. I enjoy tackling complex problems end-to-end, from design and implementation to deployment and monitoring, always aiming for robust, scalable solutions.
