My way of working

Empathy Fuels Everything

I solve real problems by deeply understanding the people behind them. I listen with intent, design with heart, and advocate for users.

Comfortable in the Uncomfortable

I embrace ambiguity and growth. Whether it's working across cultures or navigating early-stage chaos, I see change as a design opportunity, not a blocker.

Fail. Learn. Repeat.

Iteration is not just part of the process, it is the process. I treat every failure as a data point, using it to refine, rebuild, and move closer to what truly works.

Clarity Through Complexity

I thrive on simplifying the messy. Whether it’s untangling enterprise workflows or abstracting system logic, I turn complexity into clarity without losing depth.

Design is a Team Sport

From discovery to delivery, I co-create with PMs, engineers, customer-facing teams, and stakeholders. Shared goals, open feedback, and strong alignment build better products.

Creative, Yet Systematic

I blend imagination with method. I ideate freely, but validate rigorously, prototype with purpose, and build solutions that scale beyond one-off use cases.

Business-Savvy Designer

Design doesn’t live in a silo. I tie user value to business outcomes, help refine metrics, and bring design into the strategic core, not just the visual layer.

Driven by Curiosity & Craft

I stay sharp by exploring. Whether it’s game mechanics, architecture, or behavioral psychology, I draw inspiration from everywhere to enrich my design thinking.

Shan fulfills the Lead UX position in our company, and he specializes in both Web and Mobile Interface Development. Further, his involvement in project planning, client communications, testing, training, debugging, implementation, and maintenance is highly appreciated.

His expert knowledge in HTML/CSS/JavaScript and other frontend frameworks always leads our company to a competitive level, providing maintainable and scalable software applications to our valuable clients.

Anjana Wijerathne

Program Manager at Adobe

To meet our customers’ demands IFS Cloud needs to comply with WCAG 2.0 Level AA or equivalent. Shan is both tech-savvy, has a solid knowledge of UX, and has experience in crafting a Design System, so he became an important link between the IFS Design System and UI Web components, providing accessibility support for UI Comp Lib/Design System. During his tenure at IFS, he was driving Accessibility Operations as a UX group initiative.

He worked hard to audit IFS Cloud and Design System components, introduced accessibility tools for QA purposes, and wrote an accessibility statement. He also made remarkable progress when it comes to evangelising inclusive design at IFS globally.
