PORTRAIT.RAWEST. SRI LANKA⌖ FOCUS LOCKED · 6.93°NI'm Anuja Rathnayaka — known online as Dizzpy — a final-year Computer Science student from Sri Lanka passionate about building mobile and web applications. My journey started in school, driven by curiosity about how the games and apps I loved were actually made.
I focus primarily on mobile app development, with a background in UI/UX design from freelance work on Fiverr, which shapes how I approach both functionality and user experience. Most of my skills are self-taught through consistent practice, freelance work, and university projects.
I'm always eager to learn and grow while building meaningful digital experiences — and my GitHub bio still says "I code bugs for living :)" because honesty matters.
