K W J Pasindu Geevinda
Associate Software Engineer
I build robust, scalable software solutions with exceptional user experiences.
Journey
Back in 2020, just before my A-levels, an accident threw my academic plans off course. I didn’t ace my exams as expected and missed out on a government university spot for a sound engineering degree. Feeling lost and uncertain, my amazing sister stepped in and applied for an IIT Infoschol scholarship on my behalf. This unexpected opportunity led me to discover a newfound passion for coding, starting with a simple "Hello World" project in Python, marking the beginning of my journey into software engineering.
As I delved deeper into coding, my career began to take shape. I started contributing to various startups and tech organizations, focusing on building robust and efficient software. In 2022, I took a significant step forward by founding Codex, a startup where I assist university students with their software engineering coursework and final year projects, further refining my skills and expertise.
Beyond my work at Codex, I’m passionate about staying on the cutting edge of technology. I have a keen interest in AI, machine learning, DevOps, and Three.js. When I’m not coding or running Codex, you’ll likely find me playing Valorant or watching movies, always in search of the next great adventure.
