Who I am, in slightly too many words
tinkering for
5+ yrs
Hey, I'm Akila. I'm Akila — and no, I'm not a professional developer or a professional photographer. I'm just someone who genuinely likes making things.
By night I'm usually in a terminal somewhere: little web experiments, scripts that fix problems only I have, and a home server that stays up most of the time. On weekends I carry a camera around Sri Lanka — hills, coast, streets, the occasional night sky — and I've stopped pretending I'll ever sort the photo library properly.
This site is one of my favourite experiments so far. I built the whole thing myself: the animations, the admin panel where I edit everything, even the words you're reading right now. It broke many times along the way. That's kind of the fun part.
