About Me

I am an IT professional currently serving in the Sri Lanka Air Force with over 3 years of combined experience across IT systems, network operations, R&D-related software development, and field-level technical roles. My career journey from hardware and network administration to software development and data science has given me a strong multidisciplinary foundation and the ability to solve complex technical problems in real-world environments.

With hands-on experience in network troubleshooting, system maintenance, full-stack development, and R&D innovation, I have contributed to several technical projects within the Sri Lanka Air Force that improve operational efficiency and security. My achievements include supporting mission-critical IT operations, participating in the development of R&D prototypes, and continuously upgrading my skills through advanced training and certifications.

I am deeply passionate about AI-based research, scientific computing, and technology-driven problem solving. I also have a strong interest in teaching and aspire to build my future career as a lecturer in the IT and AI fields, where I can combine my industry experience with academic knowledge to guide the next generation of learners.
