Currently I am doing a full time research Msc in Computer Science and Engineering. Research project involves, graph theory, common sub expression elimination and performance improvement. 

Research Assistant

Conducted lab sessions and assignments for semester 3, 4, 5 students. Involved in teaching Theory of Computing and Computer Networks

Teaching Assistant

I worked as a member of WSO2 identity server team. Successful completion of the project based on SAML metadata involved many technologies that are mentioned above. I was a member of WSO2 Identity Server 5.3.0 realease team.

Intern Software Engineer

I've an extensive experience in working with python, specially  in machine learning, data mining and neural networks. As for the projects, I did my final year research project in Neural Machine Translation domain, which involves python deep learning libraries.   

I've an extensive knowledge on natural language processing. Having published 3 research papers on Neural Machine Translation in 3 top level conferences, I have gained a good knowledge on several disciplines of NLP including, machine translation and Word Embedding,

Being a computer science and engineering graduate, from the best university in Sri Lanka, I have used JAVA throughout my degree program, both for academic projects and other projects. During my internship at WSO2, I was exposed to webservices and other cutting edge JAVA technologies. I have done significant number of projects using JAVA> 

Being a computer science and engineering graduate, I have an extensive knowledge on applied mathematics. Having done physical science for my advance level, with 3 credits and being the island 22nd, I have excellent mathematical and analytical skills. 

I have an excellent theoretical background in computer security domain.  Key areas involve encryption techniques, physical computer security and  mathematical knowledge on cryptographic techniques.  

I have an extensive knowledge on the underlying theories of compiler design. Having followed 2 modules on this topic during my Bsc, I have built several projects  and sample compilers

Theoretical computer science has been one of my key strengths through out my degree program. Moreover I have worked as a teaching assistant for Theory of computing after y graduation. 

I have an extensive knowledge on both theoretical and practical sides of object oriented programming. I follow these principals and practices extensively in my projects.  

Having followed a 3 credit module on Database design, I have gained a significant knowledge on database related theories and implementation practices.

Machine Learning and Data mining are two of my key focus areas. Having an extensive knowledge on underlying theories , I participated in a data science competition hosted by DrivenData.org, and performed well.

Post Graduate Research Assistant 

Pasindu Tennage

A research project which aims at building a Neural Machine Translator for the underresourced language pair, Sinhala and Tamil. Succesful completion of the project involved publishing 3 research papers in 3 top level natural language processing conferences

Neural Machine Translation for Sinhala and Tamil

A peer to peer file querying application which is purely based on distributed computing methods. The projects operates in 2 modes; UDP and WebServices. As a part of this project, an API was built which is used for makeing the communication of UDP reliable. 

Peer to Peer File Query

An extension to Python library Sympy, which implements common sub expression elimination using gra[h theory. This is a research project, which I'm currently working on as my Msc research project.

SympyGR

Adding SAML metadata support for WSO2 Identity server. Successful completion of the project involved full stack development.
