About

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience building and shipping web, mobile, and AI-enabled products for startups and SMEs across Sri Lanka, the GCC, and international markets. I enjoy taking ideas from system architecture and requirements all the way through reliable real-time features, payments and wallets, IoT telemetry, and computer vision—while keeping delivery disciplined as an engineering lead and co-founder.

As a developer-researcher, I’ve built production-grade microservices using TypeScript/JavaScript (NestJS), frontend stacks like React/Next.js, and inference pipelines for computer vision with ONNX Runtime and YOLO-based models. I also bring strong collaboration habits from mentoring teams across multiple client projects, building products end-to-end, and communicating clearly with stakeholders to ensure we deliver what users need.
