(01)AboutMoratuwa, Sri Lanka

Curious by default. Craft-obsessed by choice.

I'm Kalana - an Information Technology & Management undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa, and I build software that feels considered down to the last pixel.

My favourite work lives at the seam of engineering, motion, and interaction design. I care about render budgets and rounded corners in equal measure.

Outside of class I maintain a few open-source libraries, write short technical essays, and prototype anything that looks like it would feel good in the hand.
