Financial Engineering undergraduate and trainee deal-advisory analyst. I value companies, build the models behind the numbers, and write about what the Sri Lankan economy is doing — and why.
I’m a final-year Financial Engineering undergraduate at the University of Kelaniya with a bias for analysis that holds up under questioning. Most of my work sits where valuation meets code: discounted-cash-flow and relative valuation, three-statement models, and Python tooling that makes research faster and more repeatable.
Since February 2021 I’ve invested my own capital on the Colombo Stock Exchange, with a focus on fundamentals and macro context. I write A Letter from Sri Lanka, a LinkedIn newsletter on the country’s economy, business news and markets.
I now work in Deal Advisory & Corporate Finance at KPMG Sri Lanka, and I’m interested in data-driven equity research and in how finance and technology meet in emerging markets.
