| 20 | + <p>Greetings, I am Enindu Alahapperuma, a seasoned <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering" target="_blank">software engineer</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontend_and_backend#Backend_focused" target="_blank">back-end developer</a> with a flair for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_administrator" target="_blank">system administration</a> and a touch of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo#Logo_design" target="_blank">logo design</a>, with {{ \Carbon\Carbon::parse('2018-05-01')->diffInYears(now()) }} years of experience in the field, proudly representing the vibrant tech scene of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka" target="_blank">Sri Lanka</a>. My passion and expertise revolve around back-end development and ensuring robust <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_architecture" target="_blank">system architectures</a>.</p> |
| 21 | + <h2 id="i-am-a-back-end-developer">I am a back-end developer</h2> |
| 22 | + <p>In the realm of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_development" target="_blank">web development</a>, my proficiency extends to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" target="_blank">HTML</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS" target="_blank">CSS</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript" target="_blank">JavaScript</a>. Although I don't delve into <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontend_and_backend#Frontend_focused" target="_blank">front-end development</a>, my focus lies deeply in enhancing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience" target="_blank">user experience (UX)</a>, prioritizing performance over mere aesthetics and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_interface" target="_blank">user interface (UI)</a> design. My primary toolkit includes languages such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP" target="_blank">PHP</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(programming_language)" target="_blank">Go</a>, and JavaScript (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js" target="_blank">Node.js</a>). Despite PHP's mixed reputation, I find it to be a stable and reliable choice, particularly for enterprise-level <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application" target="_blank">web applications</a>. On the other hand, Go, with its strict typing and functional programming approach, stands out as my preferred language, thanks to its elegant design and impeccable functionality.</p> |
| 23 | + <h2 id="i-am-a-system-administrator">I am a system administrator</h2> |
| 24 | + <p>As mentioned earlier, I wear the hat of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux" target="_blank">Linux</a> system administrator, particularly adept at handling the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)" target="_blank">LAMP stack</a> (Linux, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_HTTP_Server" target="_blank">Apache</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL" target="_blank">MySQL</a>/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MariaDB" target="_blank">MariaDB</a>, and PHP). My proficiency extends to cloud platforms like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Web_Services" target="_blank">Amazon Web Services (AWS)</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalOcean" target="_blank">Digital Ocean</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Cloud_Platform" target="_blank">Google Cloud Platform</a>, showcasing my <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps" target="_blank">DevOps</a> capabilities.</p> |
| 25 | + <h2 id="i-am-a-logo-designer">I am a logo designer</h2> |
| 26 | + <p>While not a professional <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design" target="_blank">graphic designer</a>, I do dabble in logo design using <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape" target="_blank">Inkscape</a> and have some familiarity with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP" target="_blank">GIMP</a>.</p> |
| 27 | + <h2 id="i-am-a-freelancer">I am a freelancer</h2> |
| 28 | + <p>I am open to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer" target="_blank">freelance</a> opportunities in back-end development, web development, system administration, and logo design. Collaborating with diverse clients and assisting them in achieving their goals is a passion of mine. On the administrative side, I offer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google" target="_blank">Google</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> web services, including Google Business, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search_Console" target="_blank">Google Search Console</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Analytics" target="_blank">Google Analytics</a>, Google Tag Manager, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_AdSense" target="_blank">Google AdSense</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCAPTCHA" target="_blank">reCAPTCHA</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_Webmaster_Tools" target="_blank">Bing Webmaster</a>, and Microsoft Clarity.</p> |
| 29 | + <h2 id="i-use-various-technologies">I use various technologies</h2> |
| 30 | + <p>While my expertise primarily lies in back-end development, I also possess a working knowledge of CSS frameworks such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_(front-end_framework)" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a>, Bulma, and Halfmoon (The very framework used to build this website). PHP frameworks like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laravel" target="_blank">Laravel</a> and Slim are also part of my repertoire, with occasional forays into the Gorilla framework for Go. Interestingly, I often opt for using Go language without any specific framework. In the realm of JavaScript (Node.js), my experience extends to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Express.js" target="_blank">Express</a> framework.</p> |
| 31 | + <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control" target="_blank">Version control</a> is second nature to me, and I rely on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git" target="_blank">Git</a> for seamless collaboration. Beyond version control, I am well-versed in tools like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSSH" target="_blank">OpenSSH</a>, HTTPie, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL" target="_blank">cURL</a>. Additionally, I've successfully integrated technologies like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sass_(style_sheet_language)" target="_blank">Saas</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symfony" target="_blank">Symfony</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket.IO" target="_blank">Socket.io</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)" target="_blank">Electron</a>, MJML, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Web_Token" target="_blank">JSON Web Token (JWT)</a> into my projects.</p> |
| 32 | + <p>Delving into programming concepts, I boast excellent knowledge in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_Standard_Recommendation" target="_blank">PSR</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression" target="_blank">regular expressions</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST" target="_blank">REST APIs</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller" target="_blank">model-view-controller (MVC) architecture</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming" target="_blank">object-oriented programming (OOP)</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming" target="_blank">functional programming</a>. Also designing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_architecture" target="_blank">software architectures</a> and solutions is a part of my skill set.</p> |
| 33 | + <p>Manipulating databases is a core part of my back-end development role, encompassing both <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL" target="_blank">SQL</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL" target="_blank">no-SQL</a> databases. My expertise leans towards SQL databases like MySQL, MariaDB, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLite" target="_blank">SQLite</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL" target="_blank">PostgreSQL</a>. I also have hands-on experience with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MongoDB" target="_blank">MongoDB</a> in the realm of no-SQL databases.</p> |
| 34 | + <h2 id="i-use-arch-linux-and-open-source-software">I use Arch Linux and open source software</h2> |
| 35 | + <p>In terms of personal preferences, I embrace simplicity and minimalism. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Linux" target="_blank">Arch Linux</a> serves as my preferred <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system" target="_blank">operating system</a>, and I champion the use of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software" target="_blank">open-source software</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio_Code" target="_blank">Visual Studio Code</a> is my go-to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment" target="_blank">intergrated development environment (IDE)</a>, supplemented by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)" target="_blank">Vim</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_nano" target="_blank">nano</a> for specific tasks. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox" target="_blank">Firefox</a> stands as my web browser of choice.</p> |
