What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can apply my UX skills to create user-friendly products and grow professionally.

As a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Colombo School of Computing, I am eager to leverage my skills in UX engineering. My internship as a UX Engineer at System2 allowed me to design user-centered interfaces, enhancing digital experiences and reinforcing my passion for creating seamless user interactions.

During my internship, I designed a comprehensive design system for a fitness app, created UI designs for both web and mobile platforms, and conducted UI reviews to gather design requirements. My projects, including a high-converting website and a mobile app redesign, reflect my commitment to enhancing user experience through innovative design solutions.
