Building reliable infrastructure for deployment, automation, and AI systems.
DevSecOps Intern
Supported secure delivery workflows during my internship at Emojot.
AWS Platform Work
Contributed to cloud-native AWS infrastructure for scalable, reliable platform operations.
Homelab Infrastructure
Built isolated Proxmox services with automated health monitoring across self-hosted environments.
AI Agent Gateway
Deployed OpenClaw as a self-hosted agent gateway on homelab infrastructure.
About
What I Do
DevSecOps intern at Emojot, contributing to cloud-native infrastructure on AWS. Previously designed microservices prototypes and deployment workflows as a DevOps trainee at Sri Lanka Telecom.
How I Learn
Self-directed infrastructure work through a Proxmox homelab. Network isolation via virtualized OpenWrt, container orchestration with Portainer and Docker Compose, NAS with OpenMediaVault, and node health monitoring with automated Discord alerting.
What I'm Building Now
Operating OpenClaw — an open-source, self-hosted AI agent framework running on homelab infrastructure. The stack includes multi-LLM routing, hybrid retrieval combining vector search with keyword matching and reranking, and privacy-respecting web research. All configuration is managed through GitOps workflows with hot-reloading sync.
Experience
DevSecOps Intern

OpenClaw Stack Detail
Engineering Decisions
Why OpenWrt?
Network isolation for safe experimentation, minimizing impact on primary systems
Why hybrid retrieval?
Precision over pure vector similarity — combines semantic and keyword matching with reranking
Why GitOps config?
Reproducibility and version control with hot-reload into the running instance
Why Discord alerting?
Lightweight, immediate notification pipeline for a single-node setup

Featured Project
OpenClaw Homelab Agent Stack
Problem
Need for autonomous, research-capable AI agents without relying on external SaaS platforms.
Outcome
Fully operational self-hosted AI agent framework with deep research capability, running on homelab infrastructure.
Approach
Self-hosted open-source agent framework with multi-LLM routing, hybrid retrieval combining vector search with keyword matching and cross-encoder reranking, and privacy-respecting web research via SearXNG. Configuration managed through GitOps workflows with hot-reloading sync.
