What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining operations leadership and technical support where I can improve processes, lead teams, deliver customer-focused solutions, and grow professionally.

I am an entrepreneurial, tech-savvy professional with experience managing operations, sales, and customer relations across retail, service, and legal environments. I have led inventory control, supervised production teams, and managed multi-channel sales including online, wholesale, and local markets.

As a proprietor and IT technician, I handled sales, marketing, graphic design, typesetting (English and Sinhala), and hardware/software repair, and trained 500+ students in digital skills. I hold certifications including CCNP, web design, graphic design, and a diploma in computer studies.

I bring strong communication (English C1, Sinhala native), leadership, problem-solving, and process-improvement strengths, and I seek roles where I can combine operational management with technical problem-solving to drive growth and efficiency.
