Hey, I'm Dilshan! Welcome to my spot on the web for writing, projects, and open knowledge. I work across the stack as an AI/ML engineer, full-stack developer, and DevOps practitioner, focusing on scalable backend services, distributed systems, and real-time LLM inference pipelines.

This site is a personal space for technical self-expression and sharing real-world software architecture lessons without advertisements, affiliate links, sponsored posts, or paywalls.

If you want to keep up with my engineering logs and notes, explore the blog stream or subscribe to the RSS feed. Feel free to reach out via email or explore my code on GitHub.
