About Me

Who I Am

I'm an enthusiastic and motivated Software Engineer with a passion for developing innovative solutions. My skills in modeling, coding, and debugging software come from my extensive experience in various tech stacks and fast moving environments.

I'm highly adaptable and capable of working independently or collaboratively. Apart from that, I also enjoy teaching coding skills to my peers and geeking out on new technologies.

Education & Foundation

I've completed my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Colombo School of Computing in 2024, after completing my secondary education at Royal College, Colombo.

I've also learned a lot of technologies from platforms like Udemy, Coursera, and YouTube in my pursuit of knowledge.

Professional Journey

Currently working as a Software Engineer at Haulmatic Technologies on revolutionary supply chain and logistics platforms, while also watching over ZaVolt, a startup company I co-founded with my friends.

I've worked on numerous client projects and helped grow the company from zero to what it's today. Go check it out at zavolt.com.

Open Source & Innovation

I'm passionate about open source development, currently building Nethren UI (a components library for React and Vue) and developing BanhMi Web Framework for the Bun runtime.

I believe in building tools that help other developers be more productive.

Teaching & Mentoring

Beyond coding, I enjoy teaching and mentoring. I regularly share knowledge with peers and love geeking out about new technologies. I've had the opportunity of conducting a few workshops and discussions on various topics.

I believe in the power of community and collaborative learning in the tech industry.
