Project/ Product Manager in FinTech, digital banking and AI
I help delivery teams and their clients turn unclear requirements into software that ships.
First Class software engineering background, now working across requirements, scope and delivery at a Sri Lankan digital banking product company.
Discovery & requirements
Turning stakeholder conversations into documented, testable requirements teams can build from.
Delivery coordination
Keeping scope, timelines and risks visible across clients, developers and QA.
Data & AI products
Shaping AI and data features with an engineer's understanding of what is actually feasible.
Case Studies
Outcome first. Each card links to the full context, my specific contribution and what I'd do differently.
Cut integration time 30% and query latency 15% on a rebuilt automotive platform
AutoStream 2.0 · Toyota Lanka (PVT) LTD
Toyota Lanka's MVP vehicle platform could not scale to marketing goals. I owned requirement finalisation and backend service design, cutting integration time 30% and query latency 15%.
Shipped a live Sinhala AI-text detector with explainable predictions
SinXdetect · Final Year Research Project
Sinhala had no reliable AI-text detector. I fine-tuned SinBERT, built the FastAPI + React app and shipped it live with word-level explanations so users can see why a verdict was given.
Reduced manual sales errors 20% by replacing spreadsheet workflows with a live platform
AutoStream 1.0 (MVP) · Toyota Lanka (PVT) LTD
Vehicle pricing and sales operations ran on manual spreadsheets. I owned the decision to keep the MVP data model narrow so it could ship fast, cutting manual errors 20%.
Validated 10,000+ property records into a land-value forecasting tool
LandPulse · University of Westminster
Colombo buyers had no way to sanity-check land prices. I owned the data-quality decisions behind a forecasting tool validated on 10,000+ property data points.
Delivered a responsive service site that turned an offline cleaning business into an online lead channel
Shine Cleaning · Freelance client, Italy
An Italian cleaning service had no web presence. I chose a structure the non-technical owner could maintain unaided, and shipped a fully responsive site in Italian.
Kept a fitness e-commerce catalogue clean and shoppable as a co-developer
Badass Barbells · Freelance client
A fitness equipment retailer needed its catalogue to stay clear and current. I chose low-risk, template-first changes on a live store over a redesign.
About
I'm two years into product work and four years into software. I started as an Associate Software Engineer at HCLTech, moved into project and delivery work at Toyota Lanka, and I'm now a Junior Project Manager at PayMedia, a digital banking product company in Colombo — gathering requirements, defining scope and tracking delivery on banking features.
Concretely: I'm early-career, not senior. I'm strongest where product meets engineering — writing requirements developers don't have to re-interpret, spotting technical constraints before they become schedule risk, and shipping AI features I've actually built myself, like my final-year Sinhala AI-text detector.
First Class BEng (Hons) Software Engineering, University of Westminster (IIT Sri Lanka).
