About Me
My journey, education, and what drives me
My Story
I'm a software engineer from Colombo, Sri Lanka, currently finishing my degree at SLIIT while working remotely with a US startup. What started as curiosity about how websites work has turned into a passion for building systems that solve real problems.
I believe in learning by doing. Rather than just following tutorials, I build things that matter to me—like setting up a complete Kubernetes platform on bare metal servers or creating a race database that helps athletes discover events. Each project teaches me something new about engineering, problem-solving, and what it takes to ship production software.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading about distributed systems, contributing to open source, or planning my next travel adventure. I'm always looking for opportunities to work on challenging problems with smart, passionate people.
Education
BSc (Hons) in Computer Science
Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology
Expected Graduation: 2026

Continuous Learning
I'm passionate about staying current with technology trends and regularly read research papers on distributed systems and cloud computing.
Music
When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing guitar and drums. Music helps me stay creative and provides a different outlet for expression and problem-solving.
TV Series & Movies
I enjoy watching TV series and movies to unwind. Great storytelling and cinematography inspire creativity and provide fresh perspectives.
