Hey everyone, I’m 24M UG guy who looking for practical ways to earn some decent income here in Sri Lanka and wanted to ask what’s actually working for you guys. Whether it’s online freelancing, local side hustles, micro-businesses, or remote work, I’d love to hear real experiences instead of generic advice. If you’re making USD or even LKR on the side, how did you get started, and what platforms or local methods are worth the effort?

Any tips on dealing with this would also be a huge help. Appreciate any insights or advice you can share!

Hey everyone,

​I’m the founder of Targus.io, and I'm currently laying down the foundation to build a suite of AI SaaS products.

​Instead of chasing corporate tech veterans, I want to build this with raw, hungry talent—specifically university undergraduates and fresh graduates who are obsessed with the current AI wave and want to build real, production-ready products from the ground up.

​I have the product vision and roadmap. Now, I need the technical minds to help execute it. I’m looking to form a lean, core team across 6 major roles:

​

-> ​AI / Prompt Engineer (LLMs, custom RAG pipelines, agents)

-> ​​Full-Stack Developer (FastAPI/Node, robust backend, APIs)

-> ​​Frontend Engineer (Next.js/React, fast & clean streaming UIs)

-> ​​QA & Automation Engineer (Testing non-deterministic AI outputs)

-> ​​UI/UX Designer (Figma, simplifying complex data-heavy workflows)

-> ​​Product Growth / Technical Marketer (Data-driven user acquisition)

​

​Why join?

This isn't a corporate gig where you'll be a small cog in a massive machine. You will own your piece of the architecture, ship code to real users, and literally build a startup's tech stack from scratch. Perfect for portfolio building or proving your skills.

​If you are a student or recent grad who spends your free time building AI side projects, breaking APIs, or designing clean interfaces, let’s talk.

​Drop me a DM with a link to your GitHub, portfolio, or a brief note on what you’ve built recently. Let’s build something massive.
