What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in renewable energy, collaborate with diverse teams, and grow my engineering skills in a supportive environment.

I am a final-year student at the University of Peradeniya, pursuing a B.Sc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. With a GPA of 3.0, I have developed a strong foundation in engineering principles, particularly in renewable energy and clean power generation. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience through internships, where I honed my skills in audio and video mixing, as well as power utilization practices.

During my internship at Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, I gained valuable insights into broadcasting systems and maintenance tasks. At Ceylex Engineering, I was involved in a project at the Pannala Grid Substation, where I contributed to DC system panel installation and cable installation processes. My final year project focuses on developing a LoRa-based communication network for monitoring electricity statutory requirements, showcasing my commitment to innovative engineering solutions.
