I am a PhD student at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queensland University of Technology working on “New methods of experimental design for subsampling under big data” and expecting to graduate in 2024.

I completed my Bachelor of Science (Statistics Special) on the subjects Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.

I am interested in applying statistical methods efficiently and effectively through the R statistical programming language. Conducting complex computations, writing reports and publishing them through R is my special skill over 7 years of experience. Yes, I am proficient in R related tools base, tidyverse, Rshiny, golem, bookdown, rmarkdown and quarto.

I have developed the below listed R packages and Shiny apps:

  1. fitODBOD and fitODBODRshiny: Modeling Over Dispersed Binomial Outcome Data Using BMD and ABD

  1. OlympicRshiny: ‘Shiny’ Application for Olympic Data

  1. SLPresElection: Presidential Election Data of “Sri Lanka” from 1982 to 2015.

  1. SouthParkRshiny: Script data and rating and votes data for the tv show “SouthPark” was web scraped until season 26 is stored as data and an Rshiny application.
