Contributing to building a proactive desktop copilot in an era of reactive AI.
“Full many a token have I burnt, and unto prod I ship forthwith.”
Part of a 5-person team keeping the Sri Lanka FinTech Summit's digital platforms running for Asia FinTech Network (Guarantee) Limited, from shipping new features to keeping the lights on.
“Requirements written at dawn are rewritten by dusk. Bend like the reed, not the oak, or the spec shall break thee.”
Made DNA Trace, a C++ toolkit for multi-GB genomic datasets, read its data a lot faster. Supervised by PhD candidate Gunavaran Brihadiswaran.
“I went down to the very marrow of the machine and squeezed every last drop of speed from it, and 'twas a joy.”
Aided the operations of REACH–SS, a JICA inclusive education project run with the Ministry of Education of Sri Lanka, working with a mixed team of international and Sri Lankan members.
“Many lands, many customs, one table. I learnt to meet each person on their own terms and still keep the work on track.”
The go-to person in A/L Combined Mathematics and Physics mass classes when the lecture moved faster than the notes.
“What the lecturer spake in thunder, I learnt to say plainly; for if thou canst not explain it simply, thou dost not truly know it.”

CS3203 Software Engineering Project at University of Moratuwa, team of 3. My part is the data layer: an ETL pipeline over CSE data that refreshes daily in CI and doesn't trust anything it's given. It checks OHLC consistency, duplicates, and coverage gaps, with a test suite and quality reports to back it up, so bad data gets caught before it reaches the team's backtests.
LLMs can write a CUDA kernel that aces the demo shape, then give wrong answers when the shape changes. Built an evaluation harness and generation pipeline that compares a baseline against shape-aware prompting to find out how often that happens.
Cleared the Summer of Bitcoin 2026 Developer Track challenge round with three tools. Chain Lens reads raw Bitcoin transactions and blocks. Coin Smith is a safe BIP-174 PSBT builder that won't let you lose your coins. Sherlock is a chain-analysis engine that follows the money using heuristics, with reports and a web visualizer.
A settlement engine with ACID-compliant, double-entry bookkeeping, where every cent balances or the transaction doesn't happen. In front of it sits a transaction router built for sub-millisecond routing, with circuit breakers and netting so one bad downstream service doesn't take everything else down.
Team of 5. A Raspberry Pi plugs into the car and polls the ECU every second, then posts batched telemetry to a FastAPI backend. A dashboard turns the logs into fuel and driver-efficiency KPIs, so heavy right feet show up in the numbers.
Taught a PPO agent to allocate a 10-asset portfolio using technical indicators and market stress features. It took 10 systematic experiments to get there. The result: 86.94% returns, 38.35% ahead of the S&P 500, and a Sharpe ratio of 1.617. Now deployed to Alpaca paper trading, using simulated money for now.
BERT, RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and FinBERT benchmarked head to head on financial sentiment. The finance specialist won: FinBERT hit 87.2% accuracy, 3-6% ahead of the general-purpose models. Then I turned headlines into trading signals and ran proof-of-concept backtests. There's a live Streamlit dashboard on Hugging Face Spaces.
A "Council" of specialist LLMs (Qwen2-Math, DeepSeek-Coder, Llava) running fully offline on a laptop with 8GB of RAM. No cloud and no API bill. A custom weighted-keyword router sends each question to the right expert with 96% accuracy in under 100ms. It also has RAG over 2,600+ textbook pages, live DuckDuckGo web search, and a Gradio web interface.
Stanford Pintos for CS2042, built all the way down to the kernel. It has an interactive shell with 15 commands for performance monitoring, heap analysis, and scheduler inspection. User programs are fully supported with 13 system calls, process management, and file system operations, synchronised with semaphores to avoid race conditions.
A web platform that connects elders and their families with verified, qualified caregivers, so nobody has to find care through a friend of a friend. I built the backend and designed the database so it holds up as the platform grows.
Built an 8-bit processor from logic gates up, for computer organization and digital design coursework. I designed the instruction set and the control unit, then ran it on a BASYS3 FPGA. Building a CPU from scratch explains a lot about how computers actually work.
