Hi, I'm Nishara Ramasinghe

My name is Nishara Ramasinghe — most people call me Nish. I'm a software developer, content creator, and the person behind Code with Lucy, my personal brand where I share everything I know about coding, building products, and thinking differently about technology.

If you found this page by searching for me — welcome. This is my corner of the internet.

Who is Nishara Ramasinghe?

I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on modern web technologies. I work primarily with TypeScript, Next.js, React, and Node.js — and I love the intersection of engineering and design. I believe great software is built at the overlap of technical precision and creative thinking.

Beyond writing code, I create content that makes complex technical topics approachable. Whether it's a deep-dive blog post, a quick reel on a CSS trick, or a full video walkthrough of a TypeScript pattern — I want every piece of content to teach something real and practical.

Why "Code with Lucy"?

Lucy is the name I go by in my content. Code with Lucy started as a small YouTube channel and Instagram page where I shared short coding tips and tutorials. It grew into a full platform — this website — where I now publish long-form blog posts, project breakdowns, video content, and new ideas.

The name "Code with Lucy" is meant to feel approachable and human. Technology can feel intimidating. I want my content to feel like learning with a friend.

What I Build

I love building things that solve real problems. Here's what I'm currently working on and have shipped:

• Code with Lucy Portfolio — this very site, built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, fully SEO-optimised
• DevLink — a smart URL shortener built for developers, with analytics and custom slugs
• CodeFlash — a spaced-repetition quiz app to help developers master JavaScript and TypeScript concepts

All of my projects are driven by one question: would I actually use this myself?

What I Write About

On this blog, I cover topics I care deeply about:

• Next.js and React — building fast, modern web applications
• TypeScript — making JavaScript safer and more expressive
• SEO and performance — making sure great software actually gets found
• Deployment and DevOps — shipping code confidently with tools like Vercel
• Developer productivity — workflows, tools, and habits that make a real difference
