01. About Me
I'm Ushan, a Software Engineer driven by curiosity and a need to understand how things really work. I don't just implement features — I dig into the "why" behind decisions, explore how systems scale, and think about long-term maintainability. I've built everything from secure SaaS platforms to AI-driven systems that need to be both intelligent and reliable.
My approach balances being detail-oriented with staying practical. I care about optimizing cloud architectures and designing clean database schemas, but I also know when shipping something solid beats over-engineering. Good engineering means building systems that evolve, writing maintainable code, and making decisions that align with real business needs.
I'm strategic about growth — thinking about where the industry is heading, what skills will matter, and how to balance technical depth with leadership. I invest time in mentoring and thoughtfully adopting technologies that add real value, not just chasing trends.
Outside of work, I'm either traveling for new perspectives or gaming and analyzing system design. Both fuel my curiosity and remind me that the best insights come from stepping outside your usual context.
If you're building something that needs strategic thinking and hands-on execution, let's connect.
