Associate Software Engineer · Full-Stack Developer · Sri Lanka

I build full-stack web applications and AI-powered features in production. Currently working as an Associate Software Engineer at IT Starter Pvt Ltd - where I ship features across production and staging environments daily.

My day-to-day involves Next.js, React (TypeScript), Laravel, and MySQL, and I have hands-on experience building AI pipelines using Claude, Mistral, and Gemini APIs for OCR and automated data extraction in a live product. I enjoy learning by building real systems, not tutorials.
