About

I am a first-class civil engineering graduate from the University of Moratuwa with strong experience in structural drafting, AutoCAD detailing, and advanced analysis using ETABS, SAP2000, and ABAQUS. I have co-authored peer-reviewed research on modular construction and steel connection design, and contributed to projects involving CFRP-strengthened beams, machine learning in geotechnical prediction, and web crippling in cold-formed steel. My work blends technical precision with research-backed design, making me a reliable choice for structural and CAD-based freelance tasks.

Experience

Full-Time Researcher Northumbria University · Full-time Jun 2024 – Present 2 yrs undefined Working full time on three research papers focusing on modular construction, additive manufacturing, and cold-formed steel (CFS) systems.

Lead author of a Q1-targeted journal paper on 3D-printed steel connections, involving drafting of connection geometries and lab test setups using AutoCAD.

Co-author of accepted paper on web crippling of modular construction beams, where I created test specimen drawings for ABAQUS validation.

Developed precise CAD models and schematics for SMA-based inter-modular connectors, used for comparative studies of energy dissipation, fire resistance, and seismic performance.
Supported all technical drafting required for finite element modeling and academic dissemination.
Civil Engineer Galldris Group · Self-employed Sep 2023 – Feb 2024 5 mos undefined Prepared and updated site drawings and structural sketches using AutoCAD to assist with daily site execution.

Produced detailed plans for grading, drainage, kerbing, ducting, and pavement works.

Integrated AutoCAD work with BIM 360 and coordinated QA inspections to ensure drawing-spec compliance.
Undergraduate Research & Design Projects – University of Moratuwa 2018 – 2023 University of Moratuwa · Apprenticeship Dec 2018 – Jan 2023 4 yrs 1 mos Sri Lanka Used AutoCAD for structural layout plans and reinforcement detailing in academic and research projects, including:

Numerical Modelling of Curved Beams Strengthened with CFRP (under Prof. Gamage)

Comprehensive Design of 9-Storey Mixed-Use Building (supervised by Dr. Losaka Perera)

Generated full plan sets from ETABS and SAP2000 outputs, including foundation, slab, beam, column, and stair details.

Education

University Of Moratuwa BSc in civil Engineering, Civil Engineeering, First class 2018 – 2023 I completed my Bachelor of Science Engineering (Honours) degree in Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, graduating with First Class Honours and a GPA of 3.82/4.2. I was ranked among the top students in my cohort, earning a place on the Dean’s List in four out of eight semesters. The program provided a rigorous foundation in structural analysis, concrete and steel design, soil mechanics, and construction engineering, complemented by advanced coursework in finite element methods, structural dynamics, and sustainable design.

As part of my undergraduate training, I undertook a comprehensive design project involving the planning of a 9-storey mixed-use development and a research thesis on the numerical modelling of curved reinforced concrete beams strengthened with CFRP, supervised by Professor (Mrs.) J.C.P.H. Gamage. Throughout the program, I gained proficiency in engineering software such as AutoCAD, Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, and ABAQUS, and actively applied these tools in coursework, design projects, and research activities.

My education emphasized both theoretical understanding and practical application, preparing me to solve real-world structural challenges with accuracy, sustainability, and innovation.
