About Madhura Jayashanka

About Me
I am an IT undergraduate passionate about creating solutions that drive societal change. My journey in technology has been driven by curiosity, a love for solving complex problems, and a commitment to building products that make a real difference.
I specialize in full-stack development with a focus on Next.js, React, Node.js, Spring Boot, FastAPI, and AWS. As an AWS Community Builder, I contribute to the cloud-native community through knowledge sharing, technical articles, and speaking engagements. Whether I'm architecting scalable systems, developing cloud-native applications, or sharing knowledge through writing and speaking, I believe in the power of technology to create meaningful experiences.
Currently pursuing my BSc (Hons) in Information Technology and Management at the University of Moratuwa with a CGPA of 3.77/4.0, I've had the privilege of working with companies like Rootcode, Adalex Technologies, and Macro Labs. I'm always learning, always building, and always excited about what's next.
