Who Am I

I'm an aspiring software engineer with a passion for crafting innovative solutions to real-world challenges. With experience in web, mobile, and enterprise-level development, I enjoy building user-centered software using modern tools like React, .NET, and Clean Architecture.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Sri Jayawardenapura, I'm eager to deepen my knowledge in areas like AI, Software Architecture, and Networking. Whether it's creating efficient systems or experimenting with the latest technologies, I'm committed to continuous learning and growth.

In essence, I'm just an ordinary student with extraordinary dreamsā€”determined to grow into an expert in software engineering, one line of code at a time.
