Who I Am

I'm a third-year Information Technology undergraduate at the University of Kelaniya with hands-on experience designing and deploying AI-powered backend systems using Python, FastAPI, and CI/CD workflows.

My passion lies at the intersection of Machine Learning and cloud-native engineering — building systems that are not only intelligent but production-ready and scalable.

Beyond code, I'm an active leader in IEEE, ISACA, and university tech communities, and I enjoy the challenge of competitive programming.
