About
Akila Wasalathilaka • Systems & AI Software Engineer
I build software with mechanical sympathy and strict hardware resource limits. In an era where desktop apps routinely consume gigabytes of RAM, I build native software that runs at hardware speed.
My work focuses on systems programming in Rust (Rodio, Symphonia, Tokio), developer tools using Tree-sitter AST analysis, and computer vision models in PyTorch for Earth observation satellite data.

Experience
Architecting Meduza (fast, native YouTube Music player built with Rust, egui, and Kotlin Android), PRISM (Tree-sitter AST AI code reviewer), Spider Theme Suite for VS Code, and high-performance developer tools.
Engineered scalable web and mobile software, digital platforms, and production frontend systems across enterprise client engagements.
Building next-generation autonomous AI developer tools, experimental systems, and high-performance native software.
