2004–2015
Roots
Hill Country International School · Madawala Bazaar
- 8 A's and a B at O/Level.
- Head Prefect and Hill Countrian of the Year, 2015.
Where I first learnt that consistency pays off.
2016–2018
Foundations
Kingswood College, Kandy · G.C.E. Advanced Level
- Physical Science stream.
- A's in Combined Maths and Chemistry, a B in Physics.
The results that opened the door to engineering at the leading technological university in Sri Lanka.
2020–2024
The Turn
University of Moratuwa · BSc (Hons), Computer Science & Engineering
- First Class, CGPA 3.76/4.2.
- Dean's List in Semesters 1, 2, 6 and 8.
This is where engineering stopped being a subject and became my craft.
2021–2023
First Steps
Fiverr · Freelance, Remote
Tutoring programming and building small software for clients across the US, UK, and the Middle East, with 40+ five-star reviews before I'd even graduated.
2023 · Internship & part-time
Into the Field
PromiseQ · Machine Learning Engineer
Berlin, Germany · Remote
My first taste of industry: an Industrial Training internship (Grade A) that grew into a part-time role on a real-time, production ML system.
- Built an adaptable, modular prediction processor for real-time image/video post-processing in a distributed pipeline.
- Added a hierarchical YAML pipeline generator for conditional post-processing, and a switchable JSON mock-prediction mode that cut video processing and VM costs in internal testing.
- Integrated the processor into the live pipeline with concurrent programming, alongside Nvidia DeepStream and GStreamer on the threat-detection system.
- Resolved Docker/Kubernetes and RabbitMQ issues across testing and production ML services.

Where I Build Now
Coachello · Senior Software Engineer, AI / Automation & Backend
Paris, France · Remote
- Supervised interns, part-timers and junior engineers, and made notable contributions to the business development that landed Coachello's initial AI coaching deals and opened the door to several more.
- Co-led development of Coachello's Copilot Agent, defining the flow, designing the endpoints, and architecting the integration under AI security and regulatory requirements.
- Built the backend for key features, including a content recommendation system and multi-modal (text, voice, avatar), RAG-based personalised coaching and roleplay.
- Designed RESTful APIs and WebSocket endpoints, working with the UI team to define data flows, and contributed to UI features and end-to-end user workflows.
- Monitored AWS deployments, resolved infrastructure issues, and supported the migration from AWS to Azure with full post-migration testing.
- Led migration of the vector database infrastructure between managed providers, preserving data integrity and coaching quality.

What I'm Building for Myself
A curated selection of projects I've chosen to share publicly.
Illustrative demos, recreated from how each part works, with sample data. Not screen recordings, and the UI is simplified.
