Hey, I'm Gawsan

A full stack engineer who turns messy enterprise requirements into products people actually enjoy using.

I spent three and a half years at IFS shipping Microsoft Teams and Outlook integrations into applications used by global enterprises. Today I'm at Sysco LABS Sri Lanka, building scalable web applications and working on AI-assisted development with React, TypeScript, Node.js and GraphQL.

I graduated from SLIIT with a BSc (Hons) in Information Technology specialising in Software Engineering, and I'm now reading for an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Moratuwa, where my focus is Software Architecture. I care most about the parts that never make it into a spec — fast load times, predictable state, and code the next person can read.
