Reading BSc (Hons) Computer Science at the Informatics Institute of Technology, Colombo — University of Westminster’s campus in Sri Lanka. Building things on the internet at the seam of code, design, and curiosity.
§ 01 — About
I’m Damian — a creative technologist and freelance web designer in Colombo, reading BSc (Hons) Computer Science at the Informatics Institute of Technology.
What I build
Small, sharp websites — personal projects and freelance web design and development for businesses and creatives in Colombo and beyond. Tools, generative experiments, and client builds that sit 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 new 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 ship things that matter to a community.
