01About Me

More Than Just a Job

I'm an IT professional, developer, and lifelong learner based in Sri Lanka. I work with infrastructure and virtualization, but I'm also passionate about web & mobile development, automation, homelab projects, and creating useful tools.

I enjoy solving problems, learning new technologies, and building projects that make life easier — for work, for the community, and for fun.
