About
The roots of my interest in management go back to my school days when I was a Table Tennis National Player in Sri Lanka. I was fascinated by the type of people I met on the island and how I managed multiple teams as a captain while they faced different levels of talent toward a winning goal.
My instincts always pushed me toward the field of Project Management. During my undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems affiliated with University College Dublin, I developed a strong interest in subjects that had analytical aspects, algorithms, project management, and management practices.
I believe the study path of Information Technology not only boosted my interest in Project Management but also built a strong foundation for my professional life.
