  <p>
    This is a chronicle of the labors of Sadeep M. Wickramage Don, an engineer
    driven by the same Promethean ambition that inspired the Natural philosophers
    of old. 
  </p>

  <p>
    My foundation rests upon Mathematics, that most austere and unforgiving
    of disciplines, which taught me early that truth cannot be negotiated. While I
    wield the apparatus of the masses—C#, Java, Python, and the shifting sands
    of JavaScript—to stitch together instruments of my employment, it is with C
    I wrest from the silicon its most jealously guarded secrets.
  </p>

  <p>
    For more than a decade, I have built the unseen machinery that carries
    mercurial event streams from the digital tempest of Formula 1; the calculus
    that regulates the geometry of sprawling monuments; the architectures of
    CPaaS, where a million thoughts merge in a galvanic stream of consciousness. 
  </p>

  <p>
    This, however, is neither ornamental fable of my career nor shrine to
    industry's vicissitudes. This is a record of experiments wrought under the
    yoke of Nature's parsimony. Pragmatic precision, durability without dogma, and
    security without paranoia are its tenets.
  </p>

  <p>
    Do not look for the veneer of professional narrative. I have recorded the
    work—raw and unadorned—for the kindred spirit searching for truth amidst the
    frozen wastes of our own creation.
