About Me
Building Intelligent Systems That Matter
I'm a third-year Software Engineering undergraduate at Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, focused on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I build intelligent systems at the intersection of AI and software engineering to solve real-world problems.
I've developed RAG-based chatbots, AI agents, and full-stack applications using tools like React, Next.js, FastAPI, and vector databases. As a freelance AI developer, I deliver end-to-end solutions—from idea to deployment— with a focus on reliability and impact.
