About

Hello, I am Primel Jayawardana, a student and builder focused on the intersection of technology, business, and problem-solving. I enjoy creating things that are both well-designed and useful, whether through cybersecurity research, software development, or data-driven systems.

I am pursuing Computer Science at the University of Calgary, where I have been building a strong foundation in programming, systems thinking, and analytical problem-solving. I am most engaged in environments that value curiosity, structured thinking, and continuous improvement.
