About
Building systems
that scale.
I'm a Software Engineer at Olee AI LLC, focused on full-stack development, backend systems, and product engineering. Before that, I independently designed and shipped 100+ systems for organizations across 20+ countries — a formative engineering journey that strengthened my technical judgment, product thinking, and practical software engineering experience.
My approach combines technical precision with product thinking — I don't just write code, I design systems that solve real problems at scale.

Built with AI
A public MCP server
This site is also a Model Context Protocol server. Any MCP client can connect and call 3 read-only tools for my profile, skills and projects — fixed data, not generated text.

A multilingual, multi-agent chat
The chat on this site routes each question to one of five specialist agents — skills, experience, projects, contact, or a general assistant — and answers in the language you write in.
Languages
- English
- Sinhala
- Tamil
- Singlish
- Tanglish
Detection runs cheapest layer first: the Unicode script, then a list of romanized Sinhala and Tamil words, and a model only when neither gives a signal.
