Hi, I’m Ashan Dias, a Machine Learning Engineer with a strong foundation in deep learning, traditional ML, TensorFlow, computer vision, forecasting, and RAG/LLM systems. I design, build, and deploy production‑ready ML solutions using Python, TensorFlow, MLflow, CI/CD, and cloud tools such as Google Cloud and Hugging Face. I work across forecasting, computer vision, and multimodal AI to deliver practical, scalable models. Before transitioning into ML/AI, I spent 20+ years in advertising and marketing, developing leadership, client‑facing skills, and project management—experience that now strengthens my ML engineering work, especially in product thinking and client delivery. I’m originally from Sri Lanka and am now based in Manila with full work rights.
