What I'm looking for

I want to help CTOs, CPOs, and business leaders deploy AI without handing over their data or losing control of their systems. I'm focused on practical AI adoption, secure private systems, and turning experiments into solutions that reach production.

At The FineQubit, I lead an agentic AI product studio and consultancy building systems that move beyond experiments and into production. Our portfolio includes PawZync, an AI-powered pet care and veterinary platform, and Rodha, an AI-enabled vehicle sharing platform.

I work on agentic workflows, private RAG systems, and AI security, with a focus on deploying intelligent systems on organizations’ own infrastructure. At Zafer (AI), I was CTO of a digital privacy and security tool; before that, at ZorroSign Inc., I worked on an eSignature platform combining blockchain security, automation, AI ML, and forensic token technology.

As a Visiting Lecturer at University of Colombo School of Computing, I teach Information Security, Secure Software Systems, Blockchain, and Smart Contracts. I hold an MSc in Information Security from University of Colombo School of Computing.

I founded the Colombo Secure Programming Community to build a culture of security-first engineering among Sri Lankan developers. My work has spanned Norway, Finland, Germany, USA, Canada, UAE, Qatar, Singapore, and Australia.
