About · The whole picture
Serious about the work.
Easy about everything else.
I grew up curious in Colombo, chased a full scholarship to Islamabad for an electrical engineering degree, and came home to build AI that actually reaches people. Along the way I learned that steadiness — calm hands, clear thinking, a life outside the screen — is the real edge.
The short version
I'm a forward-deployed AI engineer — which means I don't just build models, I sit with the people whose work they're meant to change and stay until it does. Agentic systems, document intelligence, computer vision: whatever the problem needs, taken all the way to shipped.
How I got here
MSc, Data Science & AI
University of Moratuwa
Going deeper on the theory behind the systems I build.
Forward-deployed, three times over
Sansa · SimpleBooks · Absol X
Shipping agentic AI, document intelligence and an AI sales agent — with real clients and real deadlines.
BSc, Electrical Engineering
NUST, Pakistan
Graduated after four years far from home — where the CV and ML work really started.
Allama Iqbal HEC full scholarship
Awarded on merit → NUST
A full merit scholarship took me from Colombo to Islamabad.
Royal College, Colombo 07
Where it began
Grew up curious in Colombo — and I still call it home.
Three things I hold onto
Calm under pressure
The system is on fire and the client is watching — that's exactly when a steady hand matters most.
End-to-end ownership
From the messy first prototype to the last mile of a deployed product. I own the whole arc.
Humans in the loop
The best AI knows when to ask a person. I design for confidence, review and trust — not blind automation.
The life that keeps me balanced
The best debugging happens away from the keyboard. These are where I go to think — and to stop thinking.
Mountains & moving trains
I reset at altitude and on slow trains. New places, thin air, and long views are how I come back with clearer thinking.
Ninety minutes off the clockMatchday
Football is my off-switch. Nothing quite clears a hard problem like a full stadium and a game that refuses to be predictable.
Always tinkeringA notebook that never closes
Curiosity is the job. I keep a running notebook of ideas, sketches and half-built things — most of what I ship started as a scribble.
Curious what all this looks like in production?
