From a village with no computer to building AI software for the world.
“I grew up without a computer. Today, AI helps me learn faster, but my determination to keep learning allows me to build software from Sri Lanka that serves customers around the world.”
Rasith Upamal
Senior Software Engineer · i4T Labs, Colombo
For Rasith, everything began with a simple handbill after his A/L examinations. Growing up in a rural village, he had never met a software engineer and did not even have a computer at home. Every single assignment required a five-hour daily round-trip bus journey.
During his first semester, overwhelmed by self-doubt and isolation, he stayed home for ten days ready to quit. One conversation with a mentor changed everything—sparking a journey of resilience that led him to develop global AI software from Sri Lanka.
