I am a second year PhD Student in Computer Science at Purdue University, advised by Tiark Rompf. Previously, I have spent time at the 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.

I have also worked for Google Summer of Code with the LLVM Foundation, mentored by Mircea Trofin (Google), Johannes Doerfert (ANL), Giorgis Georgakoudis (LLNL), and EJ Park (LANL).

My research interests lie at the intersection of programming languages, compilers, and machine learning. I have been primarily working on applying machine learning for compiler optimizations for the past couple of years.
