This project involved developing a real-time audience engagement platform. Users can ask questions, upvote existing questions, and interact in other ways. I played a multifaceted role, starting with designing the user interface (UI) from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups in Figma. Following the UI design, I focused on user experience (UX) to ensure a smooth and intuitive interaction flow. Finally, I implemented the front-end using the Vue.js framework and leveraged SignalR for real-time updates, enabling seamless interaction for the users.

I've had the pleasure of hiring Gayan for our early stage startup GoTradie. Firstly, I couldn't recommend him more. Absolute super star; great work ethic, top level communication and superb execution.
Gayan joined the team to primarily work on our React Web App and in a short space of time was up to speed with the code base and on the tools moving the product forward. The output that Gayan provided was of an extremely high quality with his little need for revision. Not only was his own personal work of a high quality but his ability to lead more junior staff is a huge value add. Without doubt would look to hire Gayan many times over.

He was the kind of person that took up responsibility and embraced innovative ways of solving problems, and I would say he had a strong passion for problem solving, specially in finding better quality and more effective approaches. Also continuous learning was one of his key strengths and he was methodical in experimenting his approaches and learning through the outcomes.
