"I don't just write code — I build worlds. Every system is a universe with its own rules, and every bug is a quest waiting to be solved."
I'm Kaveen, a Full-Stack Software Engineer and SaaS founder based in Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I specialize in building intelligent, production-grade applications that sit at the intersection of AI, financial technology, and real-world problem solving.
By day I architect scalable backends and intuitive frontends. By night I'm deep in GPU-accelerated ML pipelines, LLM prompt engineering, and turning raw financial data into actionable insight.
- 🏗️ Currently building CeylonStreet. A financial analytics platform for the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE)
- 🤖 Obsessed with LLM integration, document intelligence pipelines, and AI-powered data extraction
- 🎮 Philosophy: I approach engineering like a game. Complex challenges are quests, systems are worlds, and shipping is leveling up

Gamified Thinking. Every complex problem is a game with rules, constraints, and win conditions. I break large systems into solvable quests — this keeps momentum high and makes the hard stuff feel like progress, not pain.
Worldbuilding Approach. I don't build features, I build ecosystems. Software should have internal consistency — every API, schema, and component should feel like it belongs to the same logical world. Users shouldn't notice the seams.
Ship, then refine. A good v1 in production beats a perfect v0 in development. I prioritize deployable, observable systems and iterate from real feedback.
