Portfolio
AI-Assisted CRM Platform · Data Play Corp
Schema-driven CRM with LLM-powered conversational interfaces and dynamic form generation — cutting manual data-entry effort by 40%. Built with React, Tailwind, Spring Boot, and GCP Kubernetes.
COVID-19 Patient-Doctor Communication Platform
Designed and built a real-time telemedicine platform during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling healthcare providers and isolated patients to connect via video calls, live location tracking, and a priority-based queuing system aligned with Ministry of Health isolation guidelines.
Emergency Communication for Muted People
Award-winning accessibility application enabling mute individuals in Sri Lanka to communicate during emergencies via text-based video calls with live location sharing — reducing barriers to emergency services for a historically underserved population.
Carpooling Platform — ICTA ImagineIf Runner-up
Built a market-ready carpooling platform tailored for the Sri Lankan commuter market, featuring dynamic route matching, driver rating, and fare splitting. Reached ICTA ImagineIf 2018 finals and validated with real users during pilot.
AI Research · Microsoft Imagine Cup Semifinalist
Developed a computer-vision system using Artificial Neural Networks to classify Sinhala sign language gestures in real time, making digital communication accessible to the deaf community. Research published across two international academic conferences and recognised at Microsoft Imagine Cup (Asian Semifinalist).

Thoughts
Technical articles on AI-driven architecture, engineering leadership, and the systems I've built — published on Medium.
A deep-dive series on the architecture behind Neurocore — from declarative UI schemas and recursive renderers in React 19, to Zod validation, TanStack Query, and migrating dynamic systems to production in 2026.
A frontend developer's guide to one of ML's most important concepts — how loss functions measure model errors, drive training, and reveal when your model is quietly failing.
Counterintuitive things I've learned building AI-integrated products — from how LLMs actually behave under constraints to why alignment is more nuanced than most engineers expect.
Investigates why AI models consistently choose 27 when asked for random numbers, revealing hidden human behavioral patterns and psychological biases baked into training data.
