What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead data-driven process improvement—building reliable pipelines, low-code automation, and clear data governance—while partnering closely with stakeholders to deliver measurable accuracy, stability, and operational impact.

I’m an analytical, result-driven Data & Operations Specialist with over 5 years of experience in data-driven decision-making, real-time process optimization, and structural data governance. I focus on turning messy, manual workflows into reliable systems that stakeholders can trust.

In my roles, I manage end-to-end data pipelines, evaluate legacy data environments, and perform complex data mapping and validation using SQL, Advanced Excel, and Power BI. I also build automated low-code solutions that reduce manual entry errors and improve data quality standards.

Recently as a General Manager at Ranvel Lanka Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, I directed operational workflows and supply chain data infrastructure to maximize system stability and data integrity. I governed data-driven process improvement initiatives by establishing data standards to proactively minimize operational risks and process errors.

Before that, I led digital transformation at Bodyline (Pvt) Ltd and designed a Microsoft Power Apps-based solution at Noyon Lanka (Pvt) Ltd that automated complex legacy appraisal processes. From data profiling and schema mapping to pre- and post-implementation integrity checks, I ensure data flows cleanly—from collection to decision-ready insights.
