About / Maneesha Gunawardhana

An engineer who treats autonomous operations as a first-class system.

Dedicated Software Engineer & Systems Architect specializing in Autonomous Systems, Agentic AI, Post-Quantum Resilient Architecture, and Enterprise ERP. Delivering fault-tolerant, scalable, and high-performance systems that transform legacy infrastructure into self-orchestrating, secure, and production-ready digital architectures.

C01

Engineering Foundation

Cardiff Metropolitan University, BSc Software Engineering — First Class Honours (2024–2025). Preceded by a Graduate Diploma in Software Engineering at IJSE with a GPA of 3.71. Built the formal scaffolding: data structures, distributed systems, and the discipline of writing clean, maintainable software designed for long-term scalability.

C02

Enterprise Apprenticeship

Trainee to Associate Software Engineer at Zincat Technology — developing fintech and e-commerce modules using Spring Boot, React, and PostgreSQL. Built a production digital wallet with Airwallex API integration and shipped multiple platforms through the full SDLC.

C03

Telecommunications Scale

Outsourced to Dialog Axiata PLC as Associate Software Engineer — migrating legacy DTE systems to a modern microservices architecture using Spring Boot and Oracle DB. Optimized large-scale queries and ensured smooth migration with cross-functional teams across Sri Lanka's largest telco.

C04

ERP & Mission-Critical Operations

IT Operations Officer and Software Engineer at Cinnamon Miracle / The Walawwa Hotel & Banquet Group — maintaining and expanding a custom ERP covering operations, HR, finance, inventory, and reservations. Automating stock, billing, and purchasing workflows for enterprise operational management.

C05

Autonomous Systems & Frontier Tech (2026–2050)

Focusing on the next paradigm: Agentic AI orchestration (multi-step reasoning agents with tool use & MCP protocols), Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC / ML-KEM), Zero-Trust security mesh, and sovereign edge computing for self-healing enterprise operations.
