About Me
Engineering across hardware and software boundaries
I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa, specializing in Integrated Computer Engineering (ICE). My passion lies in robotics, embedded systems, software engineering, and applied AI/ML.
I thrive at the intersection of hardware and software: designing embedded controllers, sensor architectures, and digital logic on one side, while engineering scalable full-stack platforms, telemetry dashboards, and cloud pipelines on the other. From autonomous mobile robots navigating dynamic environments to real-time control systems, I love creating end-to-end solutions where physical hardware and intelligent algorithms unite.
