Hi, I'm Akhila Ariyachandra
I'm a web developer with a focus on creating front ends with React. I'm currently working as an Associate Technical Lead at Villvay.
My current work includes building e-commerce websites using awesome meta frameworks like Next.js.
Even though I focus most of my time on frontend work, features like React Server Components make me work in the backend as well.
I'm always on the lookout for learning and adopting bleeding edge technologies and libraries in the Web/Javascript ecosystem.
You can contact me via LinkedIn, or Bluesky. You can also check my blog.
