Hello and welcome to warunapaya.com. This is the home page of Waruna Ratnayake. I am a sri lankan born Test Engineer/Programmer currently lives in Hamburg, Germany.

warunapaya,com was initially created to keep in touch with all my friend and family spread around the world. Since the twitter, google+ and other social media serves that purpose the relevance of this site started to deminish over time. Hence I use it for my coding experiments instead.

Since 2003 warunapaya.com has gone through several design changes. In the early days it was virtually all HTML and there were no dynamic elements. Most of the coding was done in a standard text editor. In 2007 the website got a facelift with a new design and the addition of the blog section. As the site got more pages and the same elements started repeating CSS was used to seperate the content from the presentation. JavaScripts was also used for dynamic effects. Eventhough the site looked acceptable it was not authentic enough as many of the ideas were imitated from the other websites. In 2011 it was completely redesigned removing all the existing code. For the blog I used the theme from oulipo. I hope you like it.

Web design is my passion. I have been creating websites since early 2000. finiteloops.com, expresscaffee.com and unantenne.com are some of the websites I have been running for couple of years. Apart from web design I also spent lot of time snapping photos especially graffito just like the one below.

This site was designed on a MacBookPro using Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5.
