"I don't just build infrastructure. I build infrastructure that doesn't wake you up at 2am."

I'm a Cloud & DevOps Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing, automating, and scaling enterprise-grade infrastructure on AWS and Azure — specialising in Infrastructure as Code, Kubernetes-native platforms, and zero-downtime delivery pipelines.

Originally from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, I migrated to Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹 as a skilled tech migrant. I currently work at JAGGAER — a Fortune 500-serving enterprise SaaS platform — managing EU and US-wide cloud infrastructure using Terraform, Terragrunt, Ansible and Kubernetes at the core.

Outside of work, I run Digital Avenue — a YouTube channel and tech blog where I publish Linux and DevOps tutorials, because I believe in sharing knowledge as much as building systems.
