I’m on a mission to revolutionize how schools tackle their day-to-day challenges through Integrated School Systems – a concept I’ve crafted from years of experience and experimentation. It all started during my time as the tech director at the Overseas School of Colombo, where I discovered the magic of tools like Airtable, JotForm, APIs, JavaScript, and low-code platforms to streamline, automate, and digitize school operations.

From building dashboards and automating student onboarding to creating a roster system that feeds data to learning platforms, I’ve always been about finding smarter ways to work. Eventually, I pitched (and succeeded in convincing!) my school leadership to ditch an expensive SIS in favor of a leaner, scalable, and more adaptable stack of tools. That’s when the term “Integrated School Systems” was born.

So, what’s the deal with Integrated School Systems?

It’s about going lean, simplifying processes, embracing digital workflows, and connecting every system in a way that just works. It’s an approach designed to empower schools to innovate, experiment, and craft their own solutions – all while saving time, money, and energy.

Think Learning Management Systems (LMS), EdTech apps, Access Control Systems, Cashless Systems, Student Safeguarding Tools, Medical Health Concern Systems, and School Information Systems (SIS) – all working together in harmony.

At its core, it’s about ownership, initiative, and innovation. My vision is simple:
👉 Use design thinking to solve real-world challenges in schools.
👉 Automate the boring stuff so teachers and staff can focus on what truly matters – the students.
👉 Build interconnected systems that make schools smarter, more efficient, and future-ready.

Through tools like Kissflow, JotForms, Airtable, SQL, APIs, and AI, I’ve developed data-centric dashboards and automations that cut down costs, save time, and open doors to entirely new workflows. I want to share this knowledge with schools and educators everywhere – to help you navigate the tech jungle, troubleshoot your challenges, and create tailor-made solutions that fit your needs.

If this sounds like the kind of transformation you’ve been searching for, join me on this exciting journey. Let’s reimagine what’s possible and make education better for everyone involved. 💡
