Specialize in Integrated Computer Engineering.
About
I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, specializing in the field of Integrated Computer Engineering(ICE) with a strong interest in robotics, IOT, embedded systems, software engineering and AI/ML.
I like sitting at the intersection of hardware and software: designing and interfacing embedded systems on one side, and building the full-stack platforms, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure that turn raw hardware signals into something usable on the other. Whether it's a robot navigating in real time or a system processing and serving that data at scale, I'm drawn to problems where both sides have to work together.
