01 · About
Who I am
I'm Dulsara. I like turning rough ideas into things that actually work, and I'd rather ship something real than talk about it.
I'm a final-year Software Engineering student at SLIIT, and I've already spent six months inside a real product team, helping build a CRM module from scratch and get it to production. It taught me what good engineering looks like when people depend on it.
I don't just study software engineering, I practise it. Outside of work I build my own products, chase hard problems in research, and stay curious about whatever comes next.
