I started as a Software Engineer, where I built a strong technical foundation in development, systems, and problem solving. Over time, I became known for bringing clarity to complex products through better UI/UX and more usable experiences. That naturally led me into Solutions Engineering, where I worked closely with business needs, user expectations, and practical implementation paths. Today, as a Product Experience Engineer, I combine engineering, design thinking, and product strategy to improve systems, rebuild weak flows, and create scalable experiences with speed, quality, and real impact.

ExperienceProduct Experience Engineer
Emojot Inc. · Sri Lanka
I own product experience end to end, from discovery to implementation, with a focus on clarity, adoption, and delivery speed. I lead revamp initiatives where weak flows are restructured into cleaner journeys, then translated into production-ready UI that engineering teams can ship quickly. My work spans UX research, interaction decisions, and interface architecture, not just visual polish. I also use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate iteration, documentation, and quality checks while keeping standards high for maintainability and usability. The goal is practical impact: better user confidence, smoother onboarding, and product experiences that survive real customer environments.

ExperienceSolutions Engineer
Emojot Inc. · Sri Lanka
I worked at the intersection of clients, business teams, and developers, turning complex technical capability into clear, executable solution paths. This included discovery sessions, solution walkthroughs, and go-live support where I simplified technical decisions for non-technical stakeholders while protecting implementation quality. I became a primary UI/UX contributor for major revamps and regularly delivered production-ready code with the design direction, reducing developer load and handoff friction. I also built more than 10 internal tools and automations for Customer Success and Operations, and supported pre-sales conversations by framing technical depth around measurable value, risk reduction, and expected outcomes.

ExperienceIntern Software Engineer
FlexyCode Private Limited · Sri Lanka
I supported frontend and backend development tasks while learning production workflows in a real engineering environment. My responsibilities included feature implementation, bug fixes, basic refactoring, and participating in code reviews with senior guidance. I gained hands-on exposure to SDLC practices, version control discipline, documentation standards, and team communication rituals that shape reliable delivery. Working across Java and MERN-based tasks helped me build confidence in debugging, structured problem solving, and writing cleaner code under constraints. This internship established my professional engineering mindset and gave me the execution habits that later accelerated my growth in full-time roles.

EducationHigher Diploma in Computing & Software Engineering
Cardiff Metropolitan University
Kandy, Sri Lanka
Awarded with Merit, this program gave me practical foundations in programming, systems design, and structured project execution. Through coursework and capstone projects, I developed confidence in translating requirements into working software while maintaining clarity in code organization and documentation. It introduced me to disciplined development habits, including iterative planning, testing awareness, and technical communication with peers and mentors. I also gained early experience in handling project constraints and balancing quality with timeline pressure. This stage played a key role in preparing me for professional engineering environments and shaped my long-term interest in product-focused software development.
Jan 2007 — Oct 2020
EducationGCE Advanced Level — Physical Science stream
Kingswood College
Kandy, Sri Lanka
Completed Advanced Level in the Physical Science stream, building strong fundamentals in mathematics, analytical reasoning, and structured problem solving. During this period, I also developed discipline through team activities and long-term academic commitment, which later translated well into software delivery environments. I was selected for admission to Wayamba University of Sri Lanka (WUSL). At the time, national university intake was delayed because of the situation in the country, and the formal call reached me too late; I had already started my private degree pathway so I could keep progressing without losing momentum. I stayed focused on turning that path into strong, industry-aligned foundations and the same deliberate learning habits I still rely on today.
