Landscape Architect  ·  Software Engineer  ·  Aspiring Aviator

A multidisciplinary creator rooted in Sri Lanka, weaving together built environments, digital systems, and the sky. Architectural precision, engineering rigour, and an eye for beauty — in everything I make.

A person of many disciplines

I'm a final-year Landscape Architecture (Honours) graduate from the University of Moratuwa, simultaneously pursuing a B.Eng in Software Engineering (Canterbury Christ Church University, UK). I thrive at the intersection of the physical and digital worlds.

My design sensibility is shaped by Sri Lanka's coastal ecology — my final year project reimagined the Munnakkare Lagoon in Negombo as a community landscape. My research explored the emotional experience of airport environments, a thread that runs directly into my long-term ambition to become a commercial airline pilot.

Away from desks and studios, I'm a Kandyan dancer, a former Scout (President's Scout Award), a photographer, and a flautist. Discipline and creativity are not opposites in my life — they are the same thing.
