Senior🎓
Top SchoolNamal Jayasuriya is a research-driven Project Lead and data scientist with 11 years of experience and 6+ years focused on applying machine learning to forecasting, behavior modeling, and image-based phenotyping. He has translated PhD research into production-ready systems—building cloud-compatible ETL pipelines, containerised microservices, and MLFlow-versioned workflows that deploy inference endpoints and stakeholder dashboards. His work spans multimodal time-series and computer vision (RGB-D crop monitoring, plant phenotyping, drone image analytics) and blends reproducible research with pragmatic engineering for scalability on AWS and edge devices. Comfortable communicating to both technical and non-technical audiences, he routinely turns interdisciplinary collaborations into peer-reviewed publications and demo-ready platforms. A practical systems builder, he pairs model ablation and evaluation rigor with hands-on deployment experience, including Coral/EdgeX and Docker-based microservice architectures.
