About

Industrial-grade engineering. Real outcomes.

I lead automation, mobile, and AI initiatives for a global apparel manufacturer — one of the world's largest — where my software directly reduces manual workload and delivers measurable financial savings.

Based in Kandy, Sri Lanka · UTC+5:30 · Remote-first

My current focus is a fully on-premises LLM assistant (Ollama + Open WebUI) that protects the company's IP without depending on third-party cloud AI. I also own infrastructure strategy, partner with cross-functional stakeholders, and translate plant-floor needs into scalable systems.

VaultCast — private video conferencing, by design.

A privacy-first alternative to Zoom and MS Teams. Hosts get layered protection against screenshots, screen recording, and even off-screen camera capture — so confidential sessions stay confidential.

VaultCast — secure private video conferencing In active development · Phase 2.6

A video conferencing platform like Zoom or MS Teams — but engineered around host privacy, not against it.

VaultCast wraps every session in multiple privacy layers. Built-in screenshot and screen-recording blocks, on-device AI that detects when a participant tries to record the screen with a second camera (and alerts the host in real time), tier-based DRM, dynamic watermarking, and a hardened native Android shell. Built end-to-end — backend, web, and mobile.

Privacy & protection layers

Screenshots blocked

FLAG_SECURE on Android, screen-capture protection on web — OS-level, not app-level.

Screen-recording stopped

Tier-based DRM — Widevine L3 (Shaka Player) on web, Widevine L1 (ExoPlayer) hardware-backed on the Android shell. Decryption keys never leave the device's secure chip.

External camera detection

On-device AI (YOLO + MediaPipe) flags participants pointing a phone camera at the screen — the host gets an instant alert with the offending tile.

Dynamic watermarking

Per-viewer overlay (email + session id) baked into the stream — any leaked recording is traceable.

Hardened mobile shell

Capacitor-wrapped native Android with privacy-blur on app switch and SafetyNet attestation before sessions start.

Auto-cutoff sessions

Session-length policies enforced server-side. Hosts can extend, viewers can rejoin — nothing lingers.

Five tiers, one product

Plans differ by session length, concurrent viewers, and DRM strength — the privacy floor stays the same on every tier. DRM strength: L3 = software-based (web browsers, broad reach) · L1 = hardware-backed in the device's secure chip (strongest protection, mobile shell).
