AV & Broadcast Systems that perform
Broadcast, AV, and ELV integrator specializing in the design, integration, and support of high-performance systems for corporate, government, and broadcast environments — from boardrooms to broadcast studios.
About Me
I started my journey in audio-visual and broadcast systems integration more than 20 years ago, driven by a passion for building solutions that connect people, share knowledge, and create impact. Over the years, I’ve grown from designing small AV systems to leading some of Sri Lanka’s most innovative and large-scale technology projects.
My work spans across corporate boardrooms, government institutions, and universities, where I’ve had the privilege of designing and delivering 300+ cutting-edge projects — from meeting rooms and AV over IP deployments to broadcast and multimedia solutions.
Some of my proudest milestones include:
- Helping modernize the Sri Lanka Commercial High Courts through the Court Digitization Project
- Powering transparency with COPE and COPA live broadcasting solutions
- Designing the Parliament of Sri Lanka’s multilingual broadcast system
- Delivering Sri Lanka’s largest LED wall (22m × 11m)
What drives me is staying ahead of the curve. I’ve been fortunate to introduce new technologies to Sri Lanka, including projector blending, interactive projection, and seamless control systems. In the last two years alone (2023–2025), I’ve designed 150+ Teams/Zoom/BYOD rooms, helping position Anscom as the leading force in meeting room solutions.
For me, every project is not just about technology — it’s about creating future-ready environments where people can collaborate, innovate, and inspire.
