I'm Heshan Wanigasooriya (Hesh) and I'm a certified hands-on full-stack software developer, consultant, writer currently living in New York City, NY. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Engineering (B.Sc Hons.).
I am very passionate about Web, Mobile, REST technologies. As a professional senior full stack engineer at Phase2 Technology, I provide guidance and implementation solutions to companies looking to leverage the power of web using modern Web and Mobile technologies, helping come up with pragmatic web and mobile solutions that make business sense.
