About

Curiousby default.

I'm Farhan — an Associate Software Engineer at Innovation Quotient in Colombo, and a final-year Computer Science undergraduate at IIT, studying for a BSc (Hons) awarded by the University of Westminster.

My journey into software started with a simple question — how does this actually work? — and turned into a habit of building things to find out. Java desktop apps taught me OOP and layered architecture; today I build health-tech, streaming and logistics platforms with .NET Core, React, Next.js and Azure, guided by clean architecture and domain-driven design.

I'm especially interested in where robust engineering meets machine learning. I've completed the Machine Learning Specialization from Stanford and DeepLearning.AI. For my final-year project, HelioGuard, I'm building an explainable system that forecasts solar flares.

Outside the editor I've spent years volunteering with the Leo Club, which taught me as much about leadership and teamwork as any module has. I speak English, Sinhala and Malay.

( 02 ) — The story so far

  1. 2009

    First day at Asian Grammar School

    Nine years in Gothatuwa that ended with O/Ls — and a growing habit of taking things apart to see how they work.

  2. 2018

    Joined the Leo Club

    Member of the Leo Club of Asian Grammar School — first taste of organising people and projects for the community.

  3. 2019

    St. Benedict's College

    A/Ls in the Physical Science stream: maths, physics and a lot of problem sets.

  4. 2020

    Leo Club of Kottawa Central Golden City

    Continued community service with the Omega club through 2021, sharpening leadership and teamwork.

  5. 2023

    Started Computer Science at IIT

    BSc (Hons) at the Informatics Institute of Technology, affiliated with the University of Westminster.

  6. 2024

    Shipped my first systems

    Library and Inventory Management Systems in Java, JavaFX and MySQL — where OOP and layered architecture finally clicked. Six University of Moratuwa certificates and five HackerRank badges along the way.

  7. 2025

    Software Engineer Intern at Innovation Quotient

    Joined IQ in May. Secure APIs, database design and React front-ends for client projects — including an HR information system.

  8. 2026

    Associate Software Engineer

    Promoted in January. Now building health-tech, OTT streaming, logistics and children's-events platforms with .NET Core, React, Next.js, Flutter and Azure — while building HelioGuard, my final-year research project on explainable solar-flare forecasting. Also revamping the HDO website as a freelance project.
