01 / Overview
AI & Software Engineering Architect
Currently serving as Architect in Software Engineering & Data Science at Sinorbis — a leading digital experience platform focused on the Chinese market — Iroshan brings a rare combination of deep theoretical grounding in artificial intelligence and hands-on production engineering experience.
His career has taken him from Quality Assurance at Virtusa through technical leadership roles, a Senior Lecturer position in Information Technology, and data science leadership as Assistant Vice President at Softlogic Life Insurance.
Iroshan completed his PhD in Artificial Intelligence at Lincoln University, New Zealand, where his research focused on applying machine learning to real-world engineering and mathematical problems. His M.Phil in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Peradeniya informs a uniquely rigorous, mathematically-grounded approach to AI system design.
“The most powerful AI systems are not the ones built with the most complex algorithms — they're the ones engineered with clarity of purpose, rigorous data practices, and a deep understanding of the human problems they're solving.”
