About Me

Who I Am

I’m a tech geek from Sri Lanka, cultured by a powerful urge to accomplish the impossible engaging with the technologies which are ever-evolving.

I’d like to call myself a tech enthusiast, specializing in Enterprise Application Development (EAD) with many years of industry experience in the field of IT & Digital Arena. I’m a highly organized, detail-oriented, results-driven, and conscientious self-starter, with industry experience leveraging software engineering to deliver highly operative and innovative solutions to meet business and technological challenges.

I marked my entrance to the programming arena with the feat of a BSc in Management Information System from the University of Dublin and an M.Sc in Enterprise Application Development from Sheffield Hallam University.

Archmage (Pvt) Ltd & Centuryware Solutions was where I started my profession in the field of Software Development. Since then, with much hard work & commitment, I was able to climb the ladder of my professional career and held the position of Director/Software Architect at ICTA. I was privileged to be involved in several key projects which covered various industrial extents. Now I work as a Entperirse Architect / Platform Evangelist at Newlogic and OpenSPP. Here is my Linkedin.

What I Mostly Do


A bit about my personal life… I’m a huge fan of technology, with a zealous attitude for pretty much anything that falls into the category of gadgets, be it smartphones, modified cars, high-end cameras or even a simple doodad. I love music, from Classic to Hip-Hop to Pop, any music genre which summons my mind & soul. I’m a food addict & I don’t forget to play badminton once in a while to keep myself healthy and fit. They say, “One holds the key to one’s aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction,” which is what I live by.

In one line I’m just a normal guy who’s interested in technology.
