ABOUT ME

I’m Isuru, a Cyber Security Enthusiast and digital guardian who lives for the "aha!" moment when a complex problem finally makes sense. I spend my days building invisible shields for some of the biggest organizations in Sri Lanka, ensuring their digital worlds stay safe and sound. While I've spent over three years mastering the art of stopping "bad actors" and fine-tuning security systems, I believe the best technology is the kind you never have to think about because it just works.
