What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to apply my technical skills in power electronics while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and innovative engineer specializing in power electronics and control systems. With a Master’s degree in Power Electronics and Control from the University of Hertfordshire, I have developed a strong foundation in embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced power conversion techniques. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, achieving a distinction in my current program, and a second upper class degree in Mechatronics Technology from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented various projects, including a reconfigurable DC-DC converter for biomedical applications and a negative step-down DC-DC converter using SCALDO technology. My work has not only demonstrated technical proficiency but has also contributed to advancing the field of power electronics, with my research being selected for publication at an international conference. I thrive in collaborative environments and have honed my skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective communication through diverse roles, including technical officer and automation engineer intern.
