Thisara Jayamuni — I build web solutions that hold up in production.

Six years shipping full-stack applications — React and Next.js on the front, Node.js and MySQL behind them.

Open to senior full-stack roles

01 / About

A bit about how I work.

I'm a full-stack engineer with six years at product companies. Most of that was EatMe Global, a food-ordering platform, where I joined as a trainee and left as a senior engineer owning the admin panel and the restaurant-facing back office.

What I enjoy most is building apps end to end — taking a rough idea through to something people rely on every day, whether that's a customer-facing ordering flow or a back-office screen that saves an operations team an hour a day. Once it's live, I keep optimizing: tracking down the slow query behind a slow report is its own kind of satisfying. I've mentored five junior engineers and I take code review seriously in both directions.

I've just finished a Master of Information Technology at Deakin University in Melbourne, including two industry capstone projects with Gopher Industries. I'm now looking for a senior full-stack role in Australia.

Where I've worked.

Senior Software Engineer

EatMe Global

Led full-stack development of the admin panel — user, restaurant, and dish management plus operational reporting — introducing role-based access control across three user tiers.
Shipped the Back Office portal, letting 100+ restaurant partners manage their own settings and read their own performance analytics instead of filing support tickets.
Cut response times on key reporting endpoints by 40% through indexing, query restructuring, and removing N+1 patterns from MySQL, and mentored five junior engineers through code review.

2019 — 2023

Software Engineer

EatMe Global

Engineered the customer web app covering delivery, pick-up, and dine-in flows, with real-time order tracking over Pusher and Firebase, serving daily orders across multiple restaurants.
Designed and built 5+ Node.js and Express services for orders, menus, payments, and notifications, consumed by the web app, admin panel, and mobile clients.
Integrated Stripe payments, OneSignal push, Twilio SMS, and the Google Maps API for address resolution and delivery-radius logic. Joined as a trainee and moved into the engineer role within six months.

2017 — 2019

Associate Software Engineer

Seefa Business Solutions

Built a React Native sales-order app with an offline-first architecture — local persistence with automatic sync to MS SQL Server on reconnection — deployed on DigitalOcean behind NGINX and PM2.
Delivered order, production, and accounting modules for a desktop ERP system used by a manufacturing client.
Started as a trainee and stepped into the associate role within six months.

Healthcare monitoring product built with an industry partner during a Deakin capstone.
