About Me

I am a final-year Computer Engineering undergraduate at the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya with a passion for problem solving, and a strong interest in Computer Architecture and Compilers.

Skills and Experience

My primary focus lies in low-level development and programming languages with a solid background in developing ARM Assembly code, programming microcontrollers, and hardware design using Verilog-HDL. I have a good conceptual understanding and practical experience with compiler design as well.

I am also interested in DevOps Engineering practices with a sound knowledge of CI/CD techniques. I have practical experience working with GitHub Actions, Ansible, Jenkins and cloud service providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), and am familiar with technologies like Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform.

Additionally, my interests extend to the fields of Image Processing and Computer Vision, with hands-on experience in using the OpenCV library.

I have also worked as a Casual Instructor (Teaching Assistant) at the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya for the following courses.

• CO221 - Digital Design
• CO224 - Computer Architecture
• CO323 - Computer Communication Networks II
• CO325 - Computer and Network Security
