What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can contribute to exciting projects and further develop my skills.

I am a dedicated software engineering intern currently pursuing my BSc in Software Engineering at Cardiff Metropolitan University. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in programming and problem-solving, which I am eager to apply in real-world projects. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to producing innovative solutions that contribute to team success.

In addition to my studies, I actively participate in various tech communities, including Microsoft Learn and GDG Sri Lanka, where I continuously enhance my skills and knowledge. My projects, such as the QR Code Manager and Weather App, showcase my ability to leverage modern technologies like React and Node.js to create functional and user-friendly applications. I am constantly learning and adapting, aiming to advance professionally while making a meaningful impact in the tech industry.
