The fundamentals I learned at SLIIT gave me confidence to not only face, but “ace” my interview at Fidessa,
the world’s #1 Equities Trading Platform providers. I subsequently worked in Technology teams at three
investment banks in London; Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays Capital, and JP Morgan. Holding a
First-Class degree at the top of my batch became less relevant with time, as subject knowledge became
obsolete. I believe my commitment to a lifetime of learning beyond formal education has helped me adapt
to change and make progress in my career. After a ten year career in IT roles, I joined the Equities Trading
Desk at JP Morgan in 2017. In today’s rapid electronic Stock Markets and Algorithmic Trading world,

I am an entrepreneur, innovator and avid programmer. The foundation that SLIIT created
for me, is an invaluable component, as dedicated members of staff particularly the
lecturers, provided a solid sounding board to help hone my talent. Every course offered at
SLIIT is incredibly competitive not just on a local but also global scale, with degrees
affiliated with world-renowned universities thus giving students opportunities to gain
internationally recognised qualifications right here in Sri Lanka.
As it is also cost-effective, SLIIT fits into the mould effortlessly, allowing a wider
demographic access to high-quality education.
SLIIT was where I laid my foundation for my success. If the support given by SLIIT was not there, I wouldn’t have been able
to achieve this fast. The foundation that SLIIT created for me, is an invaluable component, also the dedicated members of
staff particularly the lecturers, provided a solid sounding board to help hone my talent. It is with immense pleasure I tell
that the institution is deeply investing in their students’ futures. Every course offered at SLIIT is incredibly competitive not
just on a local but also global scale, with degrees affiliated with world-renowned universities thus giving students
opportunities to gain internationally recognised qualifications right here in Sri Lanka.
There are many people who have been a strength to me during my journey: My own immediate family, Bathiya and
Santhush, Saliya Weerasekara, and all the employees of Arimac family.’
