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.
Career
Lead the development of a new site for Würth Baer Supply Company and migrating Wurth Louis and Company (from a codebase using Create React App to a newer one) using TypeScript, Next.js, React Server Components, TanStack Query, Tailwind CSS, Turborepo, and Vercel, for the purpose of increasing SEO, performance, and overall user experience of both sites. Also lead the initial development and maintenance of new mobile applications for Wurth Louis and Company and Würth Baer Supply Company with React Native and Expo.
Worked on overhauling the front-end development process for all projects at Villvay by reviewing pull requests and suggesting improvements for them, introducing standards and quality checks such as ESLint and Prettier, and standardizing library use among projects such as using libraries like TanStack Query for async state management.
Developed and implemented the redesigned Villvay website with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Sanity, and Vercel.
Worked on a vehicle service booking appointment system for Infomedia. I was in charge of two front-end projects, one for customers to select their vehicle and services, and book an appointment, and another project for the employees at the dealership to see all information related to the booked appointments. Both projects were created with React.
I was also part of the implementation of the Villvay company website redesign with Next.js.
Was part of IFS Consulting where I worked on customizing the IFS ERB for different customers based on their needs. I also worked on upgrading customers' installed IFS applications to newer versions.
Created and maintained the mobile version of a volunteer platform called Gudppl where users can create events that they require volunteers for and other users can pledge to it. The mobile application was built with React Native, Redux, and GraphQL.
