Offensive security professional and Cyber Security Researcher. I lead security engineering at TechCERT, Sri Lanka's most trusted cybersecurity institution, with hands-on expertise across malware analysis, red teaming, and enterprise security. I spend my days breaking what matters, building what defends it, and teaching others to do both.
