I’m Ruchira Tharanka, a driven and self-motivated Software Engineering undergraduate at SLIIT who loves crafting resilient, full-stack applications. My wheelhouse is the MERN stack—architecting React front-ends that communicate seamlessly with Node.js/Express back-ends and MongoDB data stores. I thrive on solving complex problems, whether it’s shaving milliseconds off an API response or untangling a gnarly state-management bug.
Lately, I’ve been expanding beyond JavaScript: diving into Next.js for blazing-fast, SEO-friendly web apps; mastering Docker for containerized workflows; and studying software architecture and design patterns so my systems scale and stand the test of time. When I’m not coding, you’ll catch me gaming or curating playlists to fuel my focus.
I’m always open to new challenges, collaborating on open-source projects, tackling hackathon sprints, or swapping insights on cloud-native best practices. Let’s build something great together!
