My name is Savin Weerasinghe; I am a Geomatics Data Analyst. I process satellite and LIDAR data and inspect site imagery for quality assurance. I use photogrammetry and point cloud-based techniques to construct 3D models. My work also includes using Scripting and AI to expedite workflow management. Another initiative is the use of machine learning for artifact detection.

I received my Master’s degree from the University of Athens, Greece. My thesis was on Transmission of Design of shared architectural attributes between two seemingly disparate cultures. I obtained further certifications on GIS and Remote Sensing from Michigan State University. I worked for a start-up incubator, and prior to that, as a member of University of Texas departmental student government.

As a guest researcher for the Austrian Archaeological Institute, I worked on a survey-excavation project in Aigeira. In the archaeological field work, drones and GIS hardware/software were used which helped pave the way for my current career.

My Writing background is helpful in crafting LLM prompt queries. The practice gained in new tools usage during archaeology field work aids in my current work. 

The other tabs contain samples of research work and other published write-ups earlier in my career.
