Summary
Yasith Jayawardana is a PhD student and graduate assistant at Old Dominion University with 10 years of software and research experience spanning machine learning, reproducible data science, and human-computer interaction. He builds end-to-end experimental systems—from webcam eye-tracking and EEG-based ASD diagnosis models to archived-web analytics—combining deep learning, metadata propagation, and stream-based workflow tooling. His background includes internships and research roles at Los Alamos, WSO2, and collaborations with UCSD and IUPUC, plus open-source contributions to Apache OODT and co-founding Marketrix-ai. Comfortable in both research and production environments, he bridges Python/TensorFlow pipelines with containers, web tech, and scalable deployment (Docker, Kubernetes, TF.js). Notably, he has applied archival web data and metadata techniques to estimate academic web change rates, reflecting an interest in making scientific workflows more reusable and interactive.
