The research behind the work
I'm Founder, CEO & Chief AI Research Officer at Knivok, leading applied research on privacy-preserving LLMs, query-time semantic generalization, and on-device agentic RAG architectures.
My research produces manuscripts accepted for AIRC 2026 and EICON 2026, supported by active university-level collaborations.
I hold a First Class BSc in ICT from the University of Jaffna (GPA 3.93/4.00, ranked 1st in batch) and an MBA with Merit from London Metropolitan University.
Off the clock, I'm a self-confessed petrolhead — happiest behind the wheel of something fast. The Knovik team and I like to ship at speed too, just with fewer traffic violations.
