About

Full-Stack Developer & Software Engineer

Hey there! I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Software Engineer who loves turning coffee into code and bugs into features. Currently building cool stuff at Olee AI while finishing up my BSc in Software Engineering at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

I'm all about creating scalable, fast, and maintainable solutions that actually matter. When I'm not debugging at 2am or optimizing databases, you'll find me organizing coding competitions, contributing to open source, or helping build Sri Lanka's tech community.

What gets me excited? Clean architecture, solving complex problems, and learning new tech. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can ship features, iterate quickly, and work with awesome teams that aren't afraid to challenge the status quo.

Beyond the keyboard, I'm passionate about mentoring developers, organizing tech events, and helping others grow in this crazy but amazing industry. Whether it's competing in hackathons or volunteering with IEEE CodeX, I'm always up for building something meaningful.

Looking to collaborate on an interesting project, discuss tech, or just chat? Let's connect! I'm always down for a good conversation about code, coffee, or the latest JavaScript framework that will inevitably break everything.
