Hey, I'm Chamod 👋
Software Engineer · CNCF Ambassador · Jenkins GSoC Mentor · Community Leader
I'm a software engineer from Sri Lanka focused on cloud-native systems: Go, Kubernetes, and the infrastructure that keeps production reliable. I care about building backend services, platforms, and developer tooling that make complex systems easier to operate.
Currently a Software Engineer at Circles. Beyond the day job I'm a CNCF Ambassador, a Jenkins Google Summer of Code mentor, and lead Kubernetes Sri Lanka and GDG Sri Lanka, contributing to open source and speaking at events like KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.
Outside of engineering, I'm a 2nd Dan black belt in karate and spend my spare time chasing waves along the Sri Lankan coast. 🏄
