I am a PhD Student in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Ben Delaware and Tobias Grosser. Previously, I have spent time at EPFL advised by Christoph Koch; and MIT advised by Saman Amarasinghe and Charith Mendis. I graduated with my bachelor's degree from the University of Moratuwa in 2021 specializing in Computer Science and Engineering.

Additionally, I have worked for AWS on the Neuron Compiler as an SDE Intern. Before that, I have worked for Google Summer of Code with the LLVM Foundation.

My research interests lie at the intersection of compilers and machine learning.
