About Me

Profile picture

I’m Mohamed Afraar, a final-year Computing & Information Systems undergraduate at Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, currently interning as a Software Engineer at SLT Digital Labs. With over two years of experience in ReactJS, JavaScript, and UI/UX design, I’m passionate about creating impactful and user-friendly software solutions.

I have a strong interest in full-stack development, particularly with Java Spring Boot, and I’m dedicated to enhancing user experiences through thoughtful UX design. Always eager to learn and explore new technologies, I’m excited about the opportunities ahead in the tech field.

When I’m not coding, you can find me exploring the latest tech trends, playing cricket, or enjoying a good book. I’m always up for a challenge and ready to collaborate on exciting projects. Feel free to reach out to me for any inquiries or just to say hello!
