I extremely love computer science & technology field from the bottom of my heart. Ever since I was a kid (at the age of 12), software development and learning about technologies have been my passion. I still remember sitting in front of a Pentium 3 computer, and writing a small arithmetic calculator program using Visual Basic 6.0. As I went through the Visual Basic 6.0, it was almost magic, being able to get the computer to do whatever I wanted, just by typing in these funny little symbols. Then, I started to learn many computer technologies and programming languages by myself such as Java, C, C++, JavaScript, Linux terminal commands and other web technologies. I am a research kind of person and, self-learning is my passion. My future goal is to get a job at a high tech company as a professional researcher in the field of computer science & technology. I love to learn forever. I will never ever stop learning until I die. I love artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies a lot. I have done many researches in AI field, when I was a computer science student. I have done many projects in the field of AI & ML for my clients. My notable projects are "Alpha-9" which is a humanoid robot. It was showcased in a tech exhibition in Sri Lanka, "Vehicle Counting System" using computer vision and machine learning, it was developed for a road development and surveying company. “Smart Car Parking System" for a business organization, "Road Traffic Sings Detection System" using AI technology for a road surveying company. These are my notable projects, beyond that, I have worked on many software projects. ©

I am a graduate student at the University of Waterloo majoring in Management Sciences. I have an undergraduate degree in the field of Electronics and Communication engineering. I have previously worked with Mercedes Benz R&D on Data Science for Autonomous Driving Assistant Systems where my role was to improve the safety of ADAS systems and enhance customer experience by finding anomalies in autonomous events occurring across the globe using data analysis coupled with machine learning algorithms in python. Prior to that, I have also worked as a Simulation Framework Development Engineer at FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) where my prime responsibilities were to develop plant models in Simulink for dSPACE simulators used in HIL(Hardware-in-loop) testing of vehicle electronics and developing the framework to test Automotive Cybersecurity features in a vehicle. ©
