My name is Saman Edirisooriya, and I am pleased to introduce myself and share my professional journey.
I began my career as a Pharmacist (1990–1994), followed by becoming a young entrepreneur in Sri Lanka, successfully managing multiple businesses. I hold a BSc Degree from the University of Colombo (1994–1997).
From 1997 to 2001, I was involved in operating a diverse portfolio of businesses, including Sithari Pharmacy, a motel, a doctor channelling centre, pharmaceutical distribution, a video centre, and a communication centre.
In 2001, I moved to New Zealand and began a new chapter of my professional journey. Between 2001 and 2007, I worked as an IT Lecturer, delivering NDC Level 5 and 6 programs. I also hold several professional certifications, including MCSA, MCSE, CCA, and MCT.
From 2007 to 2012, I served as an IT Manager and Microsoft Engineer, followed by working as an IT Specialist in Microsoft technologies (2012–2015).
