About
With a strong background in cloud computing, Linux, and electronics and telecommunications engineering, I design and manage diverse projects as a DevOps Engineer. I hold a B.Sc. in Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering from General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University and am completing a B.Sc. in IT from the University of Moratuwa. A fast learner and naturally curious, I am always eager to explore new technologies. In my part-time, I love working on electronics projects. My passion for technology and innovation drives me to continuously learn and seek new opportunities in cloud computing.
I was privileged to be invited to conduct mock interviews for the junior batch (Intake 39) of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering students at KDU. A big thank you to the juniors, organizers and the faculty for the invitation and for prioritizing this essential professional development. I wish all the students the very best in their careers!
