Work Experience

Software Engineering Internship at WSO2

WSO2 Logo

I completed a 6 month hands-on Software Engineering Internship at WSO2. I completed two projects under this internship:

Main Project: Agentic AI Diagnostic Analyzer (WSO2 Internship)

Core System: Engineered a Tool-Augmented Agentic RAG framework to automate root cause analysis for WSO2 Micro Integrator.
Key Features: Built custom Python pipelines to parse JVM thread dumps/logs and integrated Pinecone and GitHub APIs for semantic code analysis.
Outcome: Delivered a full-stack application (React/Flask) that significantly reduces manual debugging time by generating actionable resolution reports.
Tech Stack:

Academic Projects

Multimodal Wild Animal Detection System

Multimodal Wild Animal Detection System

Currently Developing a mass-deployable edge detection node to mitigate Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) by fusing computer vision and seismic data. The system runs YOLOv5/v11 models with Quantization Aware Training (QAT) on a Qualcomm QCS6490/Raspberry Pi architecture, integrated with a custom PCB for geophone signal filtering. Features include STA/LTA algorithms for footstep detection and an off-grid solar power management system.

Smart Water Bottle

Developed a mobile companion app for a smart water bottle using Flutter and Firebase. The application visualizes real-time hydration data transmitted by an ESP-based ultrasonic sensor system. Key features include dynamic daily goal setting, historical consumption analytics, and automated push notifications to encourage consistent hydration habits.

FlutterFirebaseIoTESPEmbedded Systems
Depth Camera Using Single Cam

Engineered a cost-effective depth measurement system integrating hardware and software. Designed a custom PCB (ATmega328P) to control precise camera rotation, enabling stereo-like image capture from a single lens. The pipeline employs Python, OpenCV, and YOLOv8 for object detection, utilizing SIFT algorithms and triangulation logic to calculate depth from 2D images.

RAKI Elderly Assistant

Created an AI-powered virtual caretaker designed to provide emotional support for elderly Sinhala speakers. Built using Python and FastAPI, the application integrates with the OpenAI API to bridge language barriers, offering a conversational interface that makes digital companionship accessible to non-English speaking seniors.

PythonFastAPIOpenAI APIAINLP
Transformer Tracker

Developed a full-stack asset management system for power transformers using Java Spring Boot and React (TypeScript). The platform streamlines inspection tracking and integrates a Python FastAPI microservice utilizing YOLOv5. This AI pipeline performs automated anomaly detection on thermal images, identifying faults like loose joints via a seamless RESTful architecture.
