I am a final year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering undergraduate with a strong interest in AI, machine learning, computer vision, and software development. I enjoy building intelligent software systems, applying data-driven approaches to solve real-world problems and deliver impactful engineering solutions.
About Me
I am a final-year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, with a strong focus on machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and software development. My academic training and project experience have allowed me to work across the full lifecycle of intelligent systems, from data preparation and model development to software integration, deployment, and evaluation in real-world environments.
My primary interests lie in developing intelligent software systems that are practical, scalable, and grounded in real engineering constraints. I have worked extensively on vision-based inspection systems, deep learning models for detection and tracking, and end-to-end AI pipelines deployed on both desktop and edge platforms. Alongside this, my background in embedded systems and IoT has shaped the way I approach problem-solving, with a strong emphasis on reliability, system integration, and usability beyond pure algorithmic performance.
While I also explore applications in robotics and autonomous systems, my long-term focus is on building technology that understands and serves the user. I am particularly interested in engineering solutions where machine learning and perception enhance real-world decision-making, rather than existing in isolation as theoretical models. I am driven to create systems that are not only intelligent, but also usable, maintainable, and impactful in practical settings.

Internship Projects

ThingsNode Mobile Application
Developed Flutter-based mobile application for IoT device monitoring with Firebase Cloud Messaging push notifications, deep linking to ThingsBoard dashboards, and real-time telemetry display.

Ansel Firmware Development
Developed production firmware for ThingsNode IoT devices with MQTT telemetry, OTA updates, MAC-keyed NVS credential storage, and optimized network footprint for industrial IoT deployment.

Fingerprint-Based User Monitoring System
Built a microcontroller-based fingerprint authentication system with web UI for user enrollment, task checklist workflow, MQTT telemetry to ThingsBoard, and mDNS-based network discovery with AP fallback.
Additional Projects

HMI Project (ANSEL)
Designed and deployed HMI touchscreen interface with login authentication, admin controls, and guided checklist workflow. Simplified navigation and added runtime Wi-Fi credential update capability.

Quick Tea Waththala Dashboard Design
Created fast, responsive ThingsBoard dashboards for IoT device testing with real-time WebSocket updates, mobile-optimized layouts, dark mode support, and custom status badges.

Motion Controller Compatibility Study
Conducted compatibility analysis between Motion Controller and end device PCBs through circuit tracing, voltage rail measurement, and schematic reconstruction. Documented incompatibility to prevent wasted development effort.

Fish Tank Monitoring (UoM Civil Research Project)
Deployed MagicBit-based water quality monitoring system for university civil engineering research. Measured pH and temperature with MQTT telemetry to ThingsBoard dashboard and alert system.
