Hi, I’m Harindu Fonseka. I’m a 17-year-old undergraduate at the University of Westminster. I started my journey into tech back in 2018 by learning about Arduino and robotics.

In 2020, I founded my own company, Starfun Games, which was first called Harindulk Games. I also set up my website, harindu.dev, to showcase my projects and connect with people. My first game, Ghost Zone, came out in March 2021 for Android and PC, and it was a big step for me seeing others enjoy my creation. Later that year, I released another game called Bug Star in December. It got some international attention when an Australian streamer, Mish Manners, played it on her Twitch stream.

The year 2022 was big for me because I got to represent Sri Lanka at the Asia Pacific ICT Awards (APICTA), which is a major event, kind of like the Oscars but for ICT. I was there because I was named the Best ICT Student in Sri Lanka and won the Young Computer Scientist Competition by the Ministry of Education in Sri Lanka. Going to Pakistan for APICTA was an awesome experience that opened up new opportunities for me.

Early in 2023, I had the honor of meeting with Sri Lanka’s President, Ranil Wickremesinghe, as a recognition for becoming the Young Computer Scientist.

Right now, I’m still focused on making games and web projects that are fun and engaging. You can check out my work and see what I’m up to next on my website, harindu.dev.
