Aspiring Project Manager with strong software engineering foundation, coordinating Agile delivery from planning through deployment.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an aspiring Project Manager with a strong foundation in Software Engineering and a clear focus on coordinating technology-driven projects from planning to successful delivery. I bring practical exposure to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and software delivery processes through academic and personal projects.
I’ve contributed to end-to-end development activities including requirements gathering, planning, system design, implementation, testing, and deployment. I’m familiar with Agile and Scrum methodologies, and I value iterative development, collaboration, and continuous improvement to deliver successful software solutions.
I also have hands-on experience using project management and collaboration tools such as Jira, Trello, Notion, and Asana for task tracking, project organization, and team coordination. This experience strengthened my project planning, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills.
My technical background in Java, Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, MySQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript helps me communicate effectively with development teams while understanding both technical and business requirements. I’m especially proud of building Shuttle Go—digitizing shuttle booking, scheduling, and payments—and RideMate—a taxi/cab booking platform that streamlined ride booking, scheduling, and administration.
