About Me
Engineer · Builder · Lifelong Student
Hi, I’m Nimna Kaveesha 👋
I’m an Associate Backend Developer at Rumex Pvt. Ltd. where I architect and maintain high-throughput APIs that power video-streaming and live-production platforms used by thousands of sports fans every match day.
My day-to-day toolbox includes Spring Boot, Node.js/Express, Next.js, React, Docker, AWS (ECS & Lambda), MySQL and MongoDB. On the front end I craft responsive UIs with TypeScript and Tailwind, ensuring pixel-perfect hand-off from design to deployment.
Beyond traditional web stacks, I’m deeply interested in machine learning. I prototype models in Python, TensorFlow & PyTorch—from real-time content-recommendation engines to computer-vision pipelines for sports analytics. Marrying backend engineering discipline with ML experimentation lets me deliver intelligent features without sacrificing reliability.
I’m currently finishing a B.Sc. in Physical Science and a Diploma in Software Engineering. Learning energizes me, so you’ll often find a new Coursera tab open or a side project spinning up on an EC2 spot instance. My guiding principle is simple: build things that reduce friction for real people.
