About Me
I have worked in academia in different capacities such as senior lecturer, lecturer, tutor, and instructor. I have expertise in a range of subject areas including User Experience Engineering, Software Engineering, Database Systems, Data Mining and Warehousing, System Analysis and Design, Business Process Management, Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, Psychology, and Project Management.
I have completed my PhD in computer science from QUT. My BSc with Honors is in ICT, and I graduated with a first-class.
With excellent presentation and writing skills, I can communicate quite effectively. Student often praise my skills in dissecting complex subject matter using real-world examples. I attempt to approach teaching from the student's perspective and so I empathize with their unique requirements. Most importantly, I just love to teach, as I like seeing others achieving their true potential.

Testimonials
"I had the privilege to interact with Ravihansa while he was my tutor for the unit 'IT Strategy and Governance' at Monash University. Ravihansa is very knowledgeable and does thorough research prior to every class. He is very thoughtful, patient and professional in his interactions with students. Ravihansa has always encouraged us to speak-up and express our views which promoted practical and research-oriented discussions, and enhanced the learning process during every class. Ravihansa is a great tutor and will be a valuable addition to any team he engages with. I wish him the very best and every success!"
"Ravihansa and I met initially while reading for our PhDs at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia. We later became colleagues at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka. I got to work closely with Ravihansa at the Department of Infomation and Communication Technology, particularly with curriculum development. He contributed immensely to improving and developing the curriculum for the BICT degree. As the coordinator for the Software Technology technology specialisation, he effectively managed the expectations of students while adhering to standard processes and upholding academic integrity. With excellent technical knowledge and exceptional people skills, I would highly recommend Ravihansa as an experienced researcher as well as an accomplished lecturer."
