I am a highly motivated and results-oriented individual with a proven track record of success. I am currently completing my M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany. Throughout my academic career, I have achieved outstanding results, having attained All Island first place and the highest Z-Score of 3.4869 in Advanced Level Examination 2015 in Sri Lanka, in Engineering Technology stream. Additionally, I obtained a Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology (BICT) Honours Degree with Second Class Upper Division (3.46 GPA, 4 Years, 120 Credits) from the Faculty of Technology, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka.
I have completed multiple projects related to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, modified StyleGAN implementations, PyTorch, and reinforcement learning projects using OpenAI Baselines. Also I have completed several projects in automation and data mining using Python and Selenium.
I have several years of industrial experience in Fullstack Web Development with Angular, Python Django, Python FastAPI, Python Flask, PHP Laravel, PHP Slim, PHP Zend, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I started my career as a Freelance Software Engineer on Upwork while completing my undergraduate degree. I have completed many Full Stack Web Development, Software Development, and Data Mining projects and earned the Top Rated badge with a 100% feedback score. I have also completed several Mobile Application Development projects with Flutter and Ionic3. After that, I worked as a full-time developer for almost two years before starting my Masters.
I am passionate about innovation and emerging technologies, so I spend my free time researching various topics, especially how AI can be used in the field of education.
