Defining Moments of My Path
I studied at Anuradhapura DS Senanayake College until I took my Grade 5 scholarship exam there. I was also the Head Prefect during my time at the school. It holds many fond memories for me.
After successfully passing the Grade 5 Scholarship Exam, I embarked on an exciting new journey by entering Anuradhapura Central College as a Grade 6 student. From 2012 to 2020, this was my academic home where I completed both my Ordinary and Advanced Levels.Throughout my time at the college, I consistently demonstrated academic excellence, earning a place in the annual prize giving ceremony for six consecutive years.
In December 2017, I completed my O/Levels, having taken IT, Tamil, and English Literature as additional subjects alongside my core studies. This period at Anuradhapura Central College was truly memorable, marking what I consider the best years of my school life. Our Grade 11 class was filled with joy and camaraderie, making it a time of both academic growth and cherished friendships.
Sitting for my A/Ls in October 2020 in the Physical Science stream at Anuradhapura Central College marked a defining chapter in my life. This period was not just about academics but a beautiful time of growth, challenges, and unforgettable memories.
Achieving three A's in my Advanced Level examinations opened the door to an incredible opportunity—securing a place at the most prestigious engineering institution in Sri Lanka, the University of Moratuwa. This accomplishment was the result of years of dedication and hard work, and it marked the beginning of an exciting journey toward a future in engineering.
After achieving an outstanding 3.85 GPA in my first semester, I earned the opportunity to join the prestigious Computer Science and Engineering Department. Building on this foundation, I am now specializing in Data Science and Engineering, alongside my mainstream studies, expanding my expertise in cutting-edge technologies and advanced analytics.
I've been selected for an internship at WSO2, starting December 1, 2024, for a duration of six months. During this time, I will be joining the WSO2 Engineering team, where I look forward to applying my skills and gaining hands-on experience in a dynamic environment.
