Let's get to the tech stuff later...
Hey, I’m Hasith! I’m a tech enthusiast who’s all about balance—I love computer science but also make sure to enjoy life beyond the screen. Currently, I'm training for my first marathon, as running is a big passion of mine. Music is another—I play guitar and collect vinyl records of my favorite albums. I’ve also been playing badminton for nearly 13 years and am on the Carleton team. Excited about both my interests and the journey ahead!
cuHacking is Carleton's official hackathon and it's our first time back in over 5 years! I'm excited and proud to say that I am the head of development for this project. Our project is booming, we've got a Storybook, Figma, monorepo, end-to-end test rails, and docker and NPM registries, stay tuned for all the amazing things we're going to do this year.
I was a web developer for ProjectTechCareers, this was my first time working in a team of developers, and I'm proud of the impact I had on the team. One of my best achievements is creating the blogs page for them. It uses Django's headless architecture to create custom blogs that allow the writer to have 100% customizability of their blog layout.
MusicMania is a social media for Spotify users! It helps connect individuals with other Spotify users who have similar listening interest to them. This was a fully original project and one I made all on my own. Yes, there are many flaws (don't look at the database schema 😭), but because I went through so much pain developing this, I learned how to read documentation and researched best practices. MusicMania is the reason why I am the developer that I am today!
Chatathon was my first attempt at full-stack development, a real-time messaging app! This project was heavily inspired by a YouTube tutorial, but nevertheless, I learned a ton from it and got hands-on experience working with my own API and creating a database, it laid the foundation for my love for full-stack development. Sidenote, if you try the demo, be wary of the Render cold starts 💀
