I’m Yahampath, a software engineer. Point me at anything.

I build web systems end to end: the interface, the services behind it, and the deployment around both. Lately that means putting language models into production and automating the manual work around them. Healthcare, education, retail, transport, finance: most of what I have built is still in daily use.

01 · The work

Things that shipped.

and are still being used

  • MediLab · 2026 SaaS product

    A SaaS product of my own. It carries a patient from registration through test ordering and billing to the finished report.

    the lab runs on it

  • E-Commerce Platform · 2025 SaaS product

    A SaaS product of my own. Every shop on it runs independently, with its own storefront, stockroom and books, all under one super-admin panel.

    every shop, from one panel

  • TuitionHub · 2026 SaaS product

    A SaaS product of my own. Every centre gets its own subdomain and its own data, for classes, fees, materials and a calendar, and parents get in without an account.

    so the teaching is the only hard part

  • FutsalHub · 2025

    Fixtures, squads, attendance and post-match voting for a futsal club that had been running on group chats.

    replaced a very long group chat

  • Richmond Raffle Draw · 2025 – 2026

    Online raffle: tickets bought and confirmed by payment webhook, prize pools drawn, and a leaderboard anyone can check.

    my old school's 150th

  • Money Manager · 2026

    Personal finance tracker: accounts, budgets, recurring items and loans, with the analytics to see where it all went.

    built it because I wanted it

  • Yours, maybe

    There is room on the list. Tell me what should go in it.

Off the clock

where the discipline actually came from

  • University Swimming Team

    2021 – 2024

    Team member · NSBM Green University

    Swam for the university through my degree, training alongside a full engineering course load. Discipline, endurance, and the useful lesson that showing up beats intensity.

    • Participated in inter-university swimming championships

    • Regular training sessions and fitness maintenance

    • Team collaboration and sportsmanship

  • School Swimming Team

    2011 – 2019

    Team member · Richmond College

    Eight years in the school squad, from a small boy in the slow lane to representing the college. This is where the six-in-the-morning habit came from.

    • Participated in multiple inter-school competitions

    • Consistent training and performance improvement

    • Represented the college in swimming events

  • University Association of Engineering

    2022 – 2024

    Coordinator · NSBM Green University

    Ran events for the engineering faculty for two years: which mostly meant organising a workshop and then persuading people to actually turn up to it.

    • Organised engineering workshops and seminars

    • Coordinated student activities and events

    • Facilitated communication between students and faculty

    • Promoted engineering education and career development

  • Circle Wise Secretary

    2014 – 2018

    Secretary · Richmond College

    School administrative role: documentation, event coordination and student representation. My first taste of the unglamorous half of getting anything done.

    • Managed administrative documentation

    • Coordinated school events and activities

    • Student representation and communication

    • Leadership development and responsibility
