02 / A BIT ABOUT ME
Curious by nature.
Engineer by training.
Builder at heart.
I’m an applied AI engineer and technical founder focused on agentic systems and AI platforms. I translate business requirements into reliable architectures and working applications.
At AgentRuntime, I’m building the execution layer for long-running AI workflows. Previously, I developed customer-intelligence features at Velaris, delivered LLM applications at Veracity Group, and worked on machine learning pipelines at LSEG.
Alongside these roles, I’ve completed 200+ research and industry projects as an independent AI/ML and software engineer. I hold a BSc Engineering (Hons) in Computer Engineering from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, with a minor in Data Management (2019–2024).

· Managed Thimira directly at LSEG
I worked with Thimira at LSEG, where managing him was an absolute pleasure. He brought so much energy and passion to our machine learning projects. He is someone who dive into the complex world of AI with the enthusiasm and curiosity. Every task, no matter how daunting, was tackled head-on, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.
Thimira has a knack for breaking down complex problems into manageable pieces, making tough concepts seem like a piece of cake. Their work, especially on Large Language Models related project, not only pushed our project forward but also made the whole team more excited and engaged with what we were doing.
Beyond the tech stuff, Thimira is just a great person to have around. Always positive, always ready to lend a hand or share a laugh. He has got this infectious energy that makes work feel a lot less like work.
In short, Thimira is a fun and great person. He has got a bright future ahead in machine learning, and I can't wait to see where their journey takes him. Trust me, you want someone like him on your team.
