Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am a self-driven and strategic Senior Software Engineer with over 4.5 years of experience in AI and machine learning model development and deployment. My expertise lies in creating efficient solutions that enhance process efficiency and resolve complex problems. I have a keen understanding of strategies that align with organizational goals, and I am dedicated to achieving objectives with accurate and fruitful results.
At Aeturnum Lanka, I developed a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline utilizing the ColBERT model, designed automated pipelines with Apache Airflow, and contributed to backend development using Django. My previous role as a Machine Learning Engineer at ChiefDX allowed me to deploy Kubernetes clusters and create scalable microservices architectures, while my experience as a Data Analyst at Hybrid Analytics honed my skills in data interpretation and visualization using Power BI.
With a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence and a strong foundation in programming and database management, I am committed to staying updated with emerging technologies and trends in the industry. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and provide opportunities for growth and innovation.
