Colombo, Sri Lanka

Curious about the layers between code and infrastructure. Learning by building — cloud-native systems, security pipelines, and developer communities across Sri Lanka.

Engineering at the
Edge of the Cloud

Cloud Engineering

Designing and operating cloud-native systems on Azure and AWS. I focus on the architecture patterns that make infrastructure invisible — resilient, scalable, and out of developers' way.

DevSecOps

Integrating security at every pipeline stage. GitHub Advanced Security certified — building risk awareness from the first commit, not as an afterthought at deployment.

Community Building

Active across Cloud Native Sri Lanka, AWS User Group Colombo, and the Sri Lanka Developer Forum. Building the ecosystem from within — one meetup, one pull request at a time.

"The best infrastructure is the kind developers forget is there — until they need it."

Based in Colombo and still studying, I learn by building. Whether it's standing up Kubernetes clusters, writing security pipelines, or organizing developer events across Sri Lanka — the mission stays the same: reduce friction, increase capability.
