I am a third-year Mechanical Engineering undergraduate specializing in Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Moratuwa. Currently, I am in my 6th semester. I have a strong interest in Machine Learning, Robotics, Autonomous applications, and working with Microcontrollers.
I am currently working as a Research Assistant at the National University of Singapore, where I contribute to cutting-edge research in building a guided dog robot for blind person.
Additionally, I am serving as the Pillar Head of Corporate Development for the Moraspirit initiative, where I volunteer for live media broadcasting of university sports. I am also a committee member of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society at the University of Moratuwa and a member of the Mora Hiking Club.
I have previously worked as a Banking Intern at Commercial Bank.
During my free time, I enjoy playing badminton and cricket, as well as building small robotics projects.
