About Me

A little bit
about me.

I'm Nethasha, a second-year CS student at IIT, Sri Lanka, pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science with the University of Westminster. Passionate about building, I've progressed from simple scripts to full-stack and AI solutions, focusing on scalable, user-centric software while seeking internship opportunities.

Beyond coding, my experiences as Badminton Captain and in Leo Club/AIESEC have honed my persistence, teamwork, coordination, and time management skills, providing a structured approach to engineering challenges.
