What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a dynamic software engineering opportunity where I can further develop my existing skills, acquire new ones, and contribute to high-quality solutions in a collaborative team.

I've built and improved globally used, healthcare, insurance, and call-center applications across Acentura, Pearson Lanka, Cloud Solutions International, and M I Synergy. I optimize performance, manage system and database upgrades, and deliver reliable solutions through unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Data Science, Statistics and Decision Analysis at Stockholm University while building on seven years of software engineering experience in Java, Spring Boot, microservices, AWS, databases, CI/CD, and client-focused delivery.
