§ 01 — About§ 01 — About
I’m Damian, a creative technologist and freelance web designer in Colombo, in my second year of BSc (Hons) Computer Science at the Informatics Institute of Technology.
What I build
Small, sharp websites for businesses and creatives in Colombo and beyond, plus my own tools and generative experiments. Most of it sits at the edge of software and design.
Services & pricing→How I work
Quietly obsessive about details, and fast. Most client sites go from brief to live in a couple of days. I learn fastest by shipping, and I’m always open to projects worth building.
Leading people, not just pixels.
Before the code, there was the council room. Years of student leadership and Rotary Interact service taught me how to organise people, run projects and deliver them for a community.

Five favourites from a growing shelf. The rest, and what’s on the way, is on the portfolio page.
