About Shehan

Shehan Disanayake

I build websites, web apps and the integrations behind them.

About me

I’m a web developer at pixeltypen, an advertising agency in Viechtach, Bavaria. I build websites and apps for the agency’s clients and work across the full stack, from polished, fast frontends to TypeScript backends and the APIs that tie them together.

I started in 2015, freelancing on Fiverr and teaching myself as I went. Since then I’ve worked remotely with teams in the US and Singapore, and joined pixeltypen full-time in 2023 after six years freelancing with them.

The work I enjoy most is where websites and web apps meet the systems behind them: designing APIs, wiring up integrations and automating the repetitive parts, so data flows on its own and nobody types the same thing twice.
