The Journey So Far

Hi! I'm Lochana, a passionate Machine Learning Engineer based in Sri Lanka. My journey in tech started during my university years, where I discovered my fascination with building intelligent systems that learn from data.I specialize in machine learning with expertise spanning the full ML lifecycle—from data preprocessing and feature engineering to model training, optimization, and production deployment. I work with modern ML frameworks, deep learning architectures, and MLOps practices.When I'm not training models, you'll find me exploring the latest AI research papers, experimenting with cutting-edge architectures, or contributing to open-source ML projects—always driven by the goal of building technology that creates meaningful impact.
