About Me
I'm Vimukthi Jayabahu, a Full-Stack Developer with 12+ years of experience building web and mobile products across startups and scale-ups in Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Currently at The Network in Auckland, working on Utogi (real estate SaaS) and Pengion Pilot (AI-powered social media scheduling).
My stack has evolved from PHP and WordPress roots through AngularJS and Node.js to a modern TypeScript-first world of NestJS, Next.js, PostgreSQL, and React Native, with infrastructure on AWS ECS, Terraform, and GitHub Actions CI/CD. I like building things that work well and are easy to change later.
