Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering undergraduate @ University of Moratuwa
Hardware security · Embedded systems · PCB design · Robotics
I'm a third-year engineering undergraduate who likes to sit at the boundary between hardware and security. I've won and placed in national CTF competitions, designed and routed my own PCBs, and built competition robots that reached national finals. I'm currently looking for a ~6-month internship (Nov 2026 – May 2027) in hardware security, embedded systems, or robotics.
- 🔐 Cybersecurity: active CTF player — 🏆 1st place at CodeFest, CyberSprint, Cypher 3.0, Zero Day & more (10+ national competitions)
- 🔌 Hardware: multi-layer PCB design in Altium & EasyEDA; embedded firmware on ESP32 & STM32
- 🧠 Edge AI / FPGA: DVCon India 2026 Design Contest finalist team — quantised vision-language models for FPGA deployment
- 🤖 Robotics: SLRC finalist, RoboGames semi-finalist
- 🛠️ Mechanical: SolidWorks, Onshape, 3D printing, laser cutting & sheet metal
- 🌱 Currently learning more about side-channel analysis and secure embedded design
