I started computing when I was 11 with a Sinclair Spectrum (don't think you know that
) and later switched to IBM PCs (80386 was my first). I learned x86 assembler, Turbo C & Turbo Pascal. Since then I use C and Assembly as my main programming languages.Education:
I attended Ananda College and did A/Ls in 98. I was fortunate to pass A/Ls on my first attempt to enter to faculty of engineering. But I decided to do Computer Science as I already got some exposure with it at that time. I have completed my Special Degree in Computer Science in 2003 from University of Colombo.
Career:
Started my own software company at the age of 19 (just after A/Ls) and worked on it until 2005. I touched lots of fields in my career before I started firmware development about 5 years ago. I used C, ASM, VB, Java, JSP, PHP, etc... on projects from databases to telecommunication. At present I'm working as an embedded engineer.
My Type:
I'm a technology enthusiast. Whenever there is something new, I can't avoid reading it myself. As a member of IEEE/CS, I get IEEE Spectrum magazine every month that helps a lot to keep me in touch with new innovations in the field of engineering. I love to live in front of the computer long hours since I have a passion to it. Love to solve difficult design/coding problems with mathematics and computer science.
My family:
Dad was working as an engineer and mum was as a school principal. Both are pensioners now and living a peaceful life.
That's about me. Please add information about yourself as well on this section.
