Hi!
I’m Avi

Hello there!

I’m an International Relations scholar at the University of Cambridge, with a prior background in Mathematics, Machine Learning and Law. While my academic journey has taken me through diverse fields, my passion for tech, sustainable development, travel, food, and human connections has always been a constant.

I started commercially selling websites around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, but my love for web development dates back to my teenage years. Over the years, I’ve learned the ins and outs of building digital solutions that not only look good but drive impact, and I’ve had the privilege of turning this into a business.

How this website started

As someone who travels and writes extensively—both academically and professionally—I have a wealth of knowledge and experiences to share. Many people have encouraged me to put my thoughts into words, and that’s exactly what I’m doing here. I’ll be writing mainly about AI, technology and productivity, but you can expect much more than just that! I hope this space becomes a place to connect with like-minded individuals, share insights, and contribute to meaningful conversations about tech, progress, and the world we live in.

I was born in Sri Lanka in 1995, before ultimately moving to the United Kingdom with my mother in 1999.

At 12, I learned to code and started earning money as a freelance web designer (this funded my World of Warcraft addiction) – this was my first taste of earning money online. I went to school in London, where I also worked as a teaching assistant for a couple of years.

After finishing school, I studied fine art in college before joining the Open University to study for a Bachelor degree in mathematics. I also started various independent engineering projects around this time, including building applications, drones and robots.
