Hi, I’m Ranjula Ilukpitiya, a UI/UX Designer and frontend/full-stack developer based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. I recently graduated from SLIIT (Class of 2026) and have 1+ year of hands-on experience building scalable web applications and integrating REST APIs. I’m proficient with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Supabase, and I enjoy turning ideas into polished, accessible interfaces. I thrive in collaborative teams and enjoy bridging design and engineering through practical, user-centered solutions. My background spans design prototyping in Figma to implementing production-grade features, plus performance optimization and multilingual/frontend scalability. I’m eager to contribute to engineering teams while continuing to grow in a structured, constructive environment.
