I have always been intrigued by technology and how we can use it to our advantage. Collecting information from one party, “translating” it into technical language and contributing to shaping the solution to what the user needs, still seems as fascinating as it did when I started my studies in Science & Technology.This led me to pursue my passion for learning and finding solutions to real-world problems by completing my B.Sc. Honours in Quantity Surveying in Sri Lanka.
