What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in innovative AI teams that value problem-solving and continuous learning.

I am an aspiring AI specialist with a completed Pearson-certified Higher National Diploma in IT and plans to pursue a top-up degree in AI & Robotics at SLIIT. My passion lies in solving real-world problems through machine learning, natural language processing, and data-driven approaches. I have gained valuable experience in training and evaluating models using Python, Google Colab, Hugging Face, and Power BI.

I am eager to contribute to innovative AI teams and grow through hands-on experience in development, research, and deployment. My academic projects, including Big Data Analysis using Power BI and sentiment analysis with fine-tuned BERT, showcase my ability to apply machine learning techniques effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and adapting to new challenges.
