My Story

I'm a passionate Software Engineering student at SLIIT City University in Colombo, where I'm pursuing a degree affiliated with the University of Bedfordshire, UK. My journey began at Nalanda College, one of Sri Lanka's premier educational institutions, where I developed strong academic foundations and a curiosity about how technology shapes our world.

My technical expertise spans modern web development technologies including JavaScript, React, Node.js, and various databases. I'm currently working on an e-commerce platform for a computer retail business, combining full-stack development skills with real-world business requirements to create meaningful digital solutions.

Beyond coding, I'm a professional photographer and videographer, specializing in portraits, events, and travel content. My creative journey complements my technical skills, as I use the complete Adobe Creative Suite to produce compelling visual stories that connect with audiences.

Philosophy & Goals

I believe in the power of continuous learning and the intersection of technology and creativity. Whether I'm developing web applications, capturing moments through my lens, or creating video content, I strive for excellence and attention to detail. My goal is to leverage my international educational background to create innovative digital solutions while using visual storytelling to make meaningful connections with people worldwide.
