About

Engineer. Entrepreneur. Builder.

I'm a Lead Software Engineer and Technical Entrepreneur based in Sri Lanka, currently leading product engineering at NeuralNexus on Renoverse AI - an AI admin assistant for renovation and construction teams spanning React Native, Node.js, and AI workflows.

Seven years across AI product work, US real estate tech at Zitles LLC in New York, national government infrastructure, fintech for Sri Lanka's largest financial groups, insurance tech, and an EU Erasmus+ platform for a French NGO. Led teams of 8, handled production incidents at 2am, shipped features the next morning.

I write about what I build: 70+ articles on Medium covering Java, Spring Boot, AWS, and system design, because clear engineering notes help teams move faster than tribal knowledge alone.

“I care about systems that age well and products that actually work for the people using them.”

Lead delivery of an AI admin assistant for renovation teams: React Native mobile, Node.js API, and workflows for retrieval, transcription, and document extraction.
