I'm a technologist with over a decade of experience architecting scalable systems and leading engineering teams. My journey began in software development, evolved through cloud infrastructure, and now focuses on AI-native architectures that bridge the gap between research and production.

Currently, I serve as a Full Stack Developer & Cloud Architect, advising enterprises on digital transformation while nurturing the KDJ Community—a platform dedicated to mentoring aspiring developers across Sri Lanka.

With an MBA in IT Strategy and deep technical expertise, I bring a rare blend of business acumen and engineering rigor to every project. I believe technology is at its best when it's open, scalable, and human-centered.
