The Full-Stack Metamorphosis

Welcome to my corner of the web. This is the place where I’m documenting my evolution from a seasoned iOS engineer to an AI-assisted full-stack developer.

Shibili Areekara I’m Shibili, a Senior iOS Engineer by trade, now partnering with AI to explore the vast world of full-stack development, one line of code at a time.

In the daytime, I architect and build scalable iOS apps 👨‍💻 for major financial institutions, with 8+ years of experience shipping features to millions. By night, I switch gears—trading some Swift for stacks and teaming up with my AI co-pilot 🤖 to tackle personal projects and document the entire expedition on this blog.

My primary initiative is building a cross-platform Personal Management System (PMS), which is my proving ground for mastering advanced SwiftUI and full-stack integration with Supabase. I’ve shared the detailed origin story for this project right here on the blog.

To put my process to the test under extreme pressure, I also recently completed a public 7-Day React Native Challenge, building a full crypto tracker app in just under 11 hours.

This blog is a real-time log of that journey—a blend of deep-dive technical solutions and the candid, unfiltered process of learning something new. It’s about the ‘aha!’ moments and the ‘why didn’t that work?’ head-scratchers.

Learning should be a shared adventure.

Let’s Connect

I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations where I can bring my expertise in building modern, full-stack solutions to the table. If you have an interesting project or a role where my skills would be a great fit, I’d love to hear from you.
