I am a doctoral researcher at the School of Management, College of Business and Law, Adelaide University. My research interests lie in international entrepreneurship, SME internationalisation, and the evolving role of digital technologies in shaping the international expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises. Currently, my work focuses on how small and medium-sized firms utilise Web 2.0 technologies and Artificial intelligence during their internationalisation journey. Before pursuing my postgraduate studies at the Adelaide University, I served as a Senior Lecturer (Transitional) at the University of Colombo, Faculty of Management and Finance, Sri Lanka.
