I’m a co-founder and director at Vista Global (Pvt.) Ltd, and I focus on keeping operations running smoothly. I manage day-to-day business and operational activities, coordinate with external suppliers and partners, and maintain documentation and reporting to support compliant workflows.
Prior to that, I built strong discipline around standards and integrity as an Invigilator for British Council in Colombo. I served as an invigilator for IELTS, Cambridge O/L, A/L, and professional examinations, ensuring strict adherence to examination regulations and supporting candidates and teams in high-pressure environments.
Early in my career, I worked as a Programmer – Research Data Reporting at ATP Asia, collaborating with international stakeholders in Canada and the United States. I processed, analyzed, and prepared research data reports using Quantum (Linux-based) systems and SPSS, with a consistent focus on accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery of outputs.
