Hi, I'm Ryan — Colombo, Sri Lanka

I build trusted
commercial
relationships.

Nine years across business development, account management, and regional strategy — I help organisations grow into the South Asian market and beyond.

About

A senior commercial operator with regional depth.

For nearly a decade I've worked at the intersection of business development, client relations, and regional strategy — leading pitches, closing complex deals, and building the kind of trusted advisor relationships that turn first contracts into long-term partnerships.

My work spans Web3 advertising, regional account management, and operations leadership across Sri Lanka and adjacent markets. Increasingly I also build the AI systems behind the work myself — so I'm focused on senior commercial roles and AI product work, where pairing local-market expertise with software I actually design and ship is a genuine edge.

What I do

Four areas where I create measurable commercial impact.

/ 01

Business Development

End-to-end sales cycles from prospect to close. Pitch leadership, storyboarding, and translating complex propositions into outcomes clients act on.

/ 02

Account Management

Senior stakeholder engagement and follow-on revenue. The kind of relationships where the second contract is bigger than the first, and the third is bigger still.

/ 03

Regional Strategy

Local market expertise across Sri Lanka and the region. Helping organisations enter, expand, and operate where distance from headquarters tends to slow things down.

/ 04

AI Product Engineering

The same operator who scopes and prices the deal also ships the build. Production systems on React 19 + Supabase — the Axis CRM with a Sri Lanka tax engine reconciled to the cent and RLS-hardened, and ClaimFlow's Claude-vision card scanner. Agentic workflows and scheduled cloud agents that run unattended. AI that ships, not slideware. See the builds →
