AI & Data Science student · Speaker · Builder · Colombo, Sri Lanka
Currently focused on shipping practical AI tools and speaking gigs around Colombo.
I grew up on stages - Toastmasters, Debate, Emcee, Public Speaking - not in a code editor. I started building when I saw real problems. Speakers losing points on timing, students needing better tools, teams needing to ship under pressure.
Now I build things that match how I actually work: clear, practical, and made for real people.

"Good code, like a good speech, should be clear before it is clever."
Let's connect — I love talking about speech, AI, and building things that actually help people.
