AWARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS & EXPERIENCE AT HACKATHONS
The Mini Hackathon 2023 was organized by the Stat Circle of University of Colombo in collaboration with Octave as a part of the 2nd International Conference in Data Science in Sri Lanka (ICDS 2023).Â
During the first round, we ranked first in the Kaggle Leaderboard where we solved a prediction problem of confectionary sales in Sri Lanka. In the semi-finals and finals we solved a clustering problem regarding the same confectionary data.
This was our first experience in participating in a Hackathon and it proved to be a wonderful journey with a lot of knowledge being shared.
The Datathon Challenge #2, organized by Women in Data Science Worldwide (WiDS), aimed to promote inclusivity in the field of data science, with a primary focus on encouraging female participation.Â
The competition, hosted on Kaggle, tasked participants with analyzing Gilead’s dataset to explore how climate patterns influence access to healthcare globally.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES /PASSIONS
Public Speaking
Winner of Oration 2024, an intra university competition hosted by Gavel UOC.
My proudest moment during this journey was crafting three different speeches for the three rounds, which is quite unusual for short-span competitions like this. I wanted to showcase my diverse skills in each round, so I invested time in writing three speeches with completely different themes.Â
My speech at the Grand Finale, "The Garden of Three Blossoms," is the one closest to my heart, as I consider it the best speech I have given to date.
