I'm a computer science Ph.D. student at University of Melbourne, working in the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, advised by Prof. Rajkumar Buyya , Dr. Shashikant Ilager (Vienna University Of Technology), and Dr. Maria A. Rodriguez . My research interests are focused on reshaping cloud datacenters for sustainable computing at cloud orchestration and host operating systems. I am a recipient of the Melbourne Graduate Research Scholarship, a two-times winner of outstanding contribution award at WSO2, a first-class honours graduate, and a top 0.16% student (out of 24K) of Physical Sciences in Sri Lanka.
I am an engineer turned into a researcher. As an undergrad1, I built my foundations on Computer Architecture2, Computer Networks, and Machine Vision. As an engineer3, I gained 3.5 years of industry experience, in designing, implementing, maintaining, and deploying and supporting enterprise solutions, as a member of an open-source middleware software product development team. I also have a blog on Medium.
Apart from work, I have a never ending love for Music 🎸, Travel 🛩, and Food 🌮.- In industry, I helped running production systems for enterprise
- As a researcher, I develop practical systems. For example, have a look at this extension of Openstack for Carbon-aware real-time computing
- I love to learn! These days, my focus is Operating Systems. After learning Golang from scratch and a bit about Linux kernel (with the help of Intel's Opensource contributions, of course!), I was able to control power features of CPU cores!
