Hey, I’m Sashi — a Sri Lankan international student finishing up my final co-op term in Winnipeg and graduating this April. I’ve spent the last few months working full-time as the sole developer on a pretty serious software project at a local engineering firm, so my schedule is intense and my hours are long. I live and breathe what I do — I’m at my desk most of the day and often late into the night, headphones on, deep in code or reading about something I got obsessed with. That’s just who I am. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to be home throwing parties every weekend or dragging strangers back at 2am, that’s not me. But if you want someone who pays their share on time, keeps their space clean, and genuinely stays in their lane — that’s exactly me. I’m quiet by default. Not cold, just independent. I’ve lived away from my family in Sri Lanka for a while now and I’ve gotten very good at managing my own life without drama or noise. I don’t leave dishes sitting out, I don’t borrow things without asking, and I don’t care if you’re not my best friend — I just need a stable, functional place to decompress after long days. I work hard, I carry a lot, and home is where I need to actually rest, not manage more situations. My hobbies are niche but I own it — I’m deep into Warhammer 40K lore, I read about science and technology constantly, and I have a tendency to fall into research rabbit holes at midnight because something got interesting. I’m the type to be quietly watching something in my room rather than dominating the living room every night. I like good food — I’ll cook Lankan stuff occasionally and it’ll smell amazing, fair warning — and I appreciate when a kitchen is actually usable and clean. I’m nearing the end of a big chapter. Graduating, figuring out what’s next with immigration and work permits, potentially staying in Canada long-term. So I need something stable and calm while I navigate all that. I don’t need a family, I just need a house that functions. Mutual respect, quiet shared spaces, and a clean bathroom. That’s the whole ask. If that sounds reasonable to you, let’s talk.
