Shan Perera
Software Engineer at League
Meet a backend expert who effortlessly dives into the code and talks tech in a way that's as easy as a Sunday morning chat.
I started coding in 2009 in my Grade 11 Computer Science class where I was introduced to Java. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in programming after completing our end of term project: building a maze pathfinding program.
Since then I've created multiple projects: a mobile app that allows restaurant dine-in patrons to place and pay for orders through their phone. Numerous automation scripts through a Java client that would complete complex tasks in the online game Oldschool Runescape, with a peak daily average user count of over 6000 users.
In my spare time you can find me: learning Japanese, reading books like House of Leaves or diving into the latest and greatest video games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Armoured Core 6.

OSRS Automation Scripts
Developed scripts for automating complex tasks in the online game Oldschool Runescape using the Java client RSPeer. The scripts were designed to complete in-game actions and perform more efficiently than a human player while evading the game’s machine learning powered bot detection system. I automated entity interactions and reactions to in-game events and designed the control logic based on in-game conditions and user preferences. 3 scripts were made available to the public with over 6000 daily active users
