An Inspiring Evening with the Cloud Native & AI Community 🇱🇰☁️🤖
What an inspiring evening it was at the Cloud Native AI Meetup held at Hatch Chatham Street Organized by Kubernetes Sri Lanka✨
It felt amazing to be surrounded by so many passionate minds exploring the intersections of Cloud Native technologies and Artificial Intelligence.
I’m incredibly grateful to have learned from two remarkable speakers:
💡 Mr. Marino Wijay (Staff Solutions Architect @ Kong Inc., CNCF Ambassador, Founder of EmpathyOps) – His session “The Network’s Effect on AI, K8s and Everything in Between: A Retrospective” opened my eyes to how deeply networking impacts the AI revolution. The depth and clarity of his insights truly reshaped the way I think about AI infrastructure.
💡 Mr. Keshan Sodimana (Founder – GDG Sri Lanka | Associate Architect – LSEG | Google Developer Expert for Cloud & AI) – His talk on “Agents as a Service: Hype or the Next Big Shift?” was both fascinating and mind-opening.
Also had chance to talk with him and It gave me fresh ideas for my upcoming AI Automation project, and I genuinely believe this will be a turning point in my tech journey. 🚀
🎤 Also, a big shoutout to Kaveesha Gimhana for sharing his amazing experience at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2025. His story was not just insightful but also incredibly motivating and filled with energy!
A heartfelt appreciation to the amazing organizers Kemila De Silva and Chamod Perera for making this event possible and for continuously empowering the local Cloud Native community. 🙏
And lastly, I’m beyond excited and truly grateful to be one of the lucky winners of the KCD Sri Lanka 2025 ticket giveaway! 🎉
This opportunity means so much, and I can’t wait to experience the event, meet inspiring technologists, and bring back new ideas to my own projects.
This was was not just an event, it was an inspiring experience that sparked new ideas, expanded my perspective, and strengthened my connection to the tech community. I leave feeling motivated, grateful, and excited for the opportunities ahead, especially with my upcoming AI Automation project. Truly, events like these show the power of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and community in shaping the future of technology.
Can’t wait to meet everyone again at KCD Sri Lanka 2025! 💙💻
