About Me

Bridging the Gap

My academic path is deliberately dual-track technical on one side, business and management on the other. Currently studying BSc (Hons) in Computer Science at the University of Westminster (via IIT Colombo).

My true calling is orchestrating projects from idea to execution. I am deeply focused on Project Management specializing in Agile methodologies, sprint planning, team coordination, and risk management. Alongside this, I also rely on Business Analysis skills to gather exact requirements, process map, and communicate with stakeholders smoothly.

Having completed a Foundation in Business Management with Distinction at Aquinas College, my ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between technical teams and business goals to deliver impactful, user-focused products.
