Dinitha Ransidu

Dinitha Ransidu is a software engineer and the creator of 10 Minute Temp Email and ImgTask. He writes from first-hand work building this receive-only inbox on Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2.

Experience that actually applies here

The articles on this site come from building the inbox: Cloudflare Workers, Email Routing, D1 metadata, R2 storage, HTML sanitization, session cookies, and cleanup. I do not list degrees, awards, or a company office that does not exist.

Other project: ImgTask. Email: ransidu@imgtask.com. Corrections: editorial policy.
