CSE Undergraduate — University of Moratuwa

Building systems
that move data,
not just code.

Full-Stack Developer/Software Engineer/Security-minded

I design and ship full-stack platforms — from IoT sensor pipelines to logistics dashboards — and spend my off-hours pulling systems apart in CTF competitions to understand how they break.

About me

CS & Engineering undergraduate with a pull toward the systems layer — storage, pipelines, and the security around them.

I'm currently studying Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, building full-stack applications with React, Node.js, Express, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. My interests sit at the intersection of software engineering, full-stack development, and cybersecurity — I like the parts of a system most people never see: schemas, ingestion pipelines, and the failure modes that show up under load. Currently looking for a Software Engineering internship to sharpen these skills on a real product team.

Systems Thinking

I like understanding how the pieces underneath an app actually work — schemas, pipelines, and where they break under load.

⚙️
Full-Stack Delivery

From a Postgres schema to a working React interface, I like owning a problem end-to-end rather than just one layer of it.

Security-Minded

Competing in CTFs on the side gave me a habit of asking "how would this break" before shipping something.
