Head of Engineering · Apache Software Foundation PMC member · AWS Solutions Architect
Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

I lead engineering teams that build SaaS products from a blank canvas — distributed systems, API gateways, security tooling, and the occasional hardware side-quest. Over the last decade I've shipped products at startups, contributed to widely-used open source, and written about most of it along the way.

• 🪶 PMC member at the Apache Software Foundation — helping steward open governance and releases.
• ☁️ Veteran AWS Solutions Architect — designing resilient, cost-aware cloud systems.
• 🛡️ Long-time contributor to the OWASP application-security ecosystem.
• 🧑‍💼 Head of Engineering at Revocare.

A few projects you may have already used without realising it:

• 🔍 line-segmentation-algorithm-to-gcp-vision — turns Google Vision's word-level OCR into line-level structure (Kotlin, 96⭐).
• 🏛️ bim-visualizer — browser-based BIM model viewer.
• 🪞 A tabletop hologram projector — yes, with mirrors and Pepper's-ghost optics. Write-up here.

I write occasionally on Medium — a mix of engineering practice, security tooling, and weekend curiosities:

• Automate Security Testing with ZAP and GitHub Actions
• APISIX as a high-performance micro-gateway
• Building a tabletop hologram projector
• Scrum for Weddings 💍
• Would you survive the Titanic? — a classic Kaggle adventure

_{Always happy to chat about API gateways, application security, multi-tenancy, or how to start contributing to OSS.}
