How I work

I bring a calm, methodical approach to Microsoft 365, Azure, Windows Server, and infrastructure operations: understand the environment, solve the immediate problem, then leave it clearer and easier to support.

What I build

From PowerShell automation to enterprise troubleshooting and project delivery, I favour maintainable solutions that improve reliability, security, and the day-to-day experience of the people using them.

Home Lab Roadmap

A long-term plan for purpose-built, always-on infrastructure: an enterprise server and rack, NAS with RAID, TrueNAS or Unraid, containers, Plex, virtualisation, and future off-grid solar integration. The design responds to Sri Lankan electricity costs by prioritising lower power use, storage resilience, and continuous availability over a permanently running workstation.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

Documentation is an engineering discipline: infrastructure, projects, configuration, troubleshooting, maintenance, knowledge transfer, engineering decisions, and repeatable procedures. It extends beyond IT; generator maintenance notes capture tool sizes, component specifications, part numbers, inspection points, schedules, and operational observations.
