Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBihan De Silva is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack products for startups and established firms, currently operating as an independent contractor. He ships fast, high-ownership work—prototyping ideas, designing future-proof APIs, and delivering pixel-perfect UIs while mentoring small distributed teams across North America, Europe, and Australia. Equally comfortable in backend systems and frontend polish, he has built scalable microservices, API gateways, and delivery and e‑sports platforms processing high order volumes. He has a particular appetite for systems programming and low-level exploration—hobby projects include compilers, virtual machines, and esoteric languages—which informs his focus on architecture and optimization. Comfortable with rapid release cycles and end-to-end ownership, he pairs practical product delivery with a curiosity-driven drive to learn and rebuild technologies from the ground up. Based in Colombo, Sri Lanka, he blends startup agility with production-grade engineering discipline.
