What I solve
Architecture that connects data, systems, and people.
Real-time analytics
High-concurrency analytical systems for event-heavy workloads where low latency and predictable performance matter.
Enterprise integration
API, microservices, and B2B integration platforms that modernize critical business processes securely and reliably.
Applied AI architecture
Enterprise AI systems grounded in governed data, with practical patterns for LLMs, retrieval, and agentic workflows.
Experience
From building platforms to shaping enterprise strategy.

How I work
Clarity before complexity.
The best architecture is not the one with the most technology. It is the one teams understand, trust, and can operate. I work across executive, product, engineering, and sales conversations to turn ambiguous problems into systems that deliver.
My foundation is a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Moratuwa, backed by hands-on experience across fintech, trading, gaming, healthcare, logistics, telecom, and government.
