Kusal Pabasara | Software Engineer & AI/ML Engineer

Kusal Pabasara — Software Engineer & AI/ML Engineer Computer Science & Engineering undergraduate at the University of Moratuwa (Data Science & Engineering stream). I build full-stack web applications, distributed data systems, and applied machine learning — from event-driven pipelines to research-grade ML with SHAP interpretability. Selected Projects

Interest-Driven Personalized Sports Recommendation — research accepted for oral presentation at ICDSAI-26; 17.4% NDCG improvement and 85.7% novel-sport discovery using a stacking ensemble with SHAP analysis.

OnTime G2 — real-time transit data pipeline built on Apache Flink and Kafka.

DNA Trace — high-performance genomic sequence matching with C++ and Pybind11.

MetaMind — AI-assisted learning platform.

8-bit NanoProcessor — CPU implemented in Verilog on FPGA.
