Cookpal is a web application developed as part of our first-year web assignment, aimed at recipe exploration and management. Built with React (Vite) and Firebase, it features secure user authentication, personalized profiles, intuitive recipe creation, detailed recipe views, and tag-based filtering. Deployed on Firebase for easy access.

Solo-built the companion mobile app for an IoT-powered cricket training machine. Engineered real-time WiFi communication with ESP8266 hardware, Firebase auth, session customization, and player stat tracking with interactive charts. Delivered a polished React Native experience that bridges physical hardware with a seamless digital interface.

Co-designed and built an automated cricket practice machine from the ground up—Arduino Mega + ESP8266 controlling DC motors, servos, and sensors for five distinct ball types. Integrated proximity detection, load-cell calibration, and real-time LCD feedback. Paired with a custom React Native app for wireless control, delivering a complete hardware-to-mobile IoT training system.

Shipped a real-time debate platform with role-based views for judges, debaters, and organizers—featuring live video via Stream.io, automated timers, session recording, and integrated note-taking. Built with Next.js, Firebase, and Framer Motion. Reached the semi-finals at Idealize 2024, validating the platform's approach to structured online discourse.

Independently architected and shipped a full MERN-stack vehicle rental platform supporting three distinct user roles with dedicated dashboards. Built JWT auth, calendar-based availability, booking approval workflows, and driver assignment from scratch. Deployed frontend on Netlify and backend on Render—live and handling real user flows end-to-end.

A desktop application developed for the Finance Division of the University of Moratuwa to streamline monthly paysheet distribution. Built with Python and CustomTkinter, it features a modern multi-page UI with secure user authentication and role-based access control. The system automates email distribution of paysheets to all university employees with real-time status updates, delivery verification, and centralized settings management. This project demonstrates a real-world solution tailored to administrative workflows.

A comprehensive full-stack application designed for land and asset valuation with advanced GIS capabilities. Led the complete development lifecycle from requirement gathering and planning to UI/UX design, development, and testing. The system features a mobile frontend built with Flutter for field data collection, a robust .NET backend for business logic, and integrated PostgreSQL/SQLite databases for data management. Includes GIS-based visualization powered by Mapbox for precise location mapping and asset visualization.

A modern, responsive portfolio website built with Next.js and TailwindCSS. Features include smooth scrolling, animated sections, interactive 3D models, skill categorization, and mobile-responsive design. The portfolio showcases my projects, skills, and education in an engaging user interface with a clean, professional aesthetic.

An AI-powered web application developed for NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025 that detects exoplanets from TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) light curve data using machine learning and signal processing techniques. The system integrates the Box Least Squares (BLS) algorithm for feature extraction and XGBoost for classification to identify potential exoplanet transit signals. Features TIC ID-based and CSV light curve analysis, real-time transit detection with confidence metrics, interactive 3D planet visualization, and CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions. Deployed on Vercel (frontend) and HuggingFace Spaces (backend).
