ABOUT MY JOURNEY

Software Developer, Co-Founder & Applied AI Explorer

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer and Tech Co-Founder with 3+ years of experience engineering scalable web platforms, secure APIs, and relational databases. My core development stack centers on TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and PostgreSQL to deliver reliable digital products. Driven by a deep curiosity for Artificial Intelligence, I actively conduct research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), focusing on foundational model adaptation and low-resource language technologies.
As a co-founder of Sahan Solutions and GacaloTech, I combine production software engineering with initiatives that mentor upcoming builders and bridge the regional digital divide. My current focus centers on writing applied machine learning research and engineering intelligent tools that address real-world challenges.
