Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I)
Scrum.org certification demonstrating knowledge of Scrum roles, events, artifacts and empirical product development.
Software Developer, Full-Stack Engineer & Generative AI Builder.
I design and ship data-driven, AI-powered web experiences — and I care about clean code as much as clean UX.
Hi, I'm Dilanga Algama. Nice to meet you.
I'm a data-oriented Software Developer at the University of Ottawa (Faculty of Medicine) and a generative AI analyst based in Ottawa, Canada. I work on Elentra ME, a CRM-style medical education platform used across global institutions, and build AI-assisted tools and automation for businesses like Euroshine.
My background combines a BSc in Computer Science & Business Management with hands-on full-stack experience in PHP/Laravel, React, Vue.js, JavaScript and SQL/MariaDB. Recently I've been focused on automating repetitive workflows, designing on-site AI agents, and turning messy data into reliable, actionable systems.
