About Me
Originally from Sri Lanka, I discovered a passion for technology and gaming at a young age — and that competitive drive has never left me. Whether it was esports, sport, or academics, I've always given 100% to everything I do with a genuine can-do attitude. I moved to New Zealand to pursue my Bachelor's degree at Wintec and have loved it ever since, building a career in IT while staying active both physically and competitively.
I was a professional esports player — competing in Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, and Sim Racing at a national level in Sri Lanka. I came 3rd in Sri Lanka at the SLT Esports Championship, won the SLT Inter-School Esports Championship captaining my team to first place, and took home a Logitech Sri Lanka esports title. Today, I channel that same competitive energy into physical sport and fitness — I currently play Division 3 football at Hamilton Northern United and love working out. Away from the pitch, I'm a huge F1 fan, enjoy watching football, and love go-karting and driving.
In my professional life, I bring the same intensity. I pick things up fast, communicate clearly, and always aim to contribute from day one. I'm excited to grow my career in a role where I can make a real impact.
