Sri Lankan software engineer at Google, working on Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK). Represented Sri Lanka at the 2010 International Mathematical Olympiad (rank 151, 70.9%) while a student at Ananda College, Colombo, and later coached the Sri Lanka IMO team as an instructor at the Sri Lanka Olympiad Mathematics Foundation (2010-2016). Graduated in Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Moratuwa (2010-2015), then joined Google in 2016.

Sri Lankan engineer and former mathematical olympiad contestant. He represented Sri Lanka at the 2010 International Mathematical Olympiad while a student at Ananda College, Colombo, then spent several years coaching the Sri Lankan IMO team as an instructor at the Sri Lanka Olympiad Mathematics Foundation before completing an Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering degree at the University of Moratuwa and joining Google, where he now works on the Model Context Protocol and Google's Agent Development Kit.

Notes
  • Joined Google in 2016 and has stayed ~10 years, now focused on the Model Context Protocol and Google's Agent Development Kit — i.e. he sits on agent/LLM infrastructure.2016
  • Represented Sri Lanka at IMO 2010 at rank 151 of 516 with 70.9% — the strongest of the five-man Sri Lankan team that year, ahead of Nuwan Chamara Pallewela (266) and Isuru Dilanka Fernando (313).Jul 2010
  • Placed global 3rd at IEEE Xtreme as part of UOM 'Team Oops' with Thilina Sameera Ambagahawaththa and Varuna Jayasiri, showing competitive-programming strength beyond olympiad math.2013
  • Posted the highest average GCE A/L Z-score in the country (3.3439) while at Ananda College in Nov 2009, which alongside the IMO result is the credential that opened a top engineering seat.Nov 27, 2009
  • His LinkedIn headline 'MCP / ADK @ Google' and self-description 'Professional protobuf mover' indicate deep protocol/serialization work inside Google rather than a product-facing role.2026
  • Went from IMO contestant (2010) to instructor coaching the Sri Lanka IMO team (2010-2016) — teaching the program he came through, which runs parallel to his undergraduate years at Moratuwa.2016
  • Education path Ananda College (2004-2009) -> University of Moratuwa Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering (2010-2015) -> Google (2016) is a classic top-of-cohort Sri Lankan engineering trajectory, with the A/L Z-score and IMO rank as the two qualifying signals.2015
  • Ranked on the same IMO circuit as a 2008 Sri Lankan contestant too (rank 424, 20.9%), so by 2010 he had two IMO appearances — a rare milestone that predicted a mathematics-heavy trajectory.Jul 2010
  • Invited as a speaker for IEEEXtreme Sri Lanka sessions on competition mastery, giving back to the competitive-programming community he competed in.Oct 2022
  • Held a research attachment at AHL (Augmented Human Lab), University of Moratuwa, on assistive augmentation — an early HCI research exposure before turning to production engineering.2014
  • No public X/Twitter, GitHub, personal site or blog found; his public footprint is essentially LinkedIn plus olympiad and university records — a low-professional-surface profile.2026
