Basically, I am a Computational Linguist with Data science background.
For nearly 25 years, I worked as a freelancer in Content writing, graphic designing pre-press solution, network designing, software engineering, Data Science and AI activities for USA, Canada, Spain, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lankan clients.
I carried out my studies in Sri Lanka, and the USA, where I received my Bachelors’ with Philosophy and Mass Communication. Afterward, I decided to continue my academic training in the same university, with a Masters’ in Linguistics. When developing my Masters´ dissertation, I applied my research skills in a real case study in developing speech recognition.
As I have always been involved with this learning process, I became aware of the Computational Grammar and won both UNL to Sinhala and Sinhala to UNL gold medals from UNL II Olympiad 2013. This has reinforced my interest in Computational linguistics, to which I intend to contribute and get involved as a researcher.
