What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Software Engineering internship where I can work on backend services, REST APIs, and real-time data pipelines.

On TripMate, I built backend features for personalised Sri Lankan travel planning, including role-based JWT authentication, refresh token rotation, background jobs, and live progress streaming. I also wrote unit and API tests and deployed the platform to AWS EC2 with CI/CD.

For Data Intelligence, I built a Kafka-Flink smart meter pipeline with event-time windows and daily data validation. I also configured Spark batch processing and wrote unit and integration tests.

I built ByteRelay, an asynchronous Telegram-to-Nextcloud file transfer service with chunked streaming and retryable error handling. As a volunteer Frontend Developer at Mora Exams, I contributed to rebuilding the website and added Tamil translations and an exam-centre map.
