About Me

Portrait of Indrajith Bandara root@academy:~#

I'm an Advisor at the Excellence Oriented Support & Training Center, acting on behalf of the Cisco Networking Academy. My GitHub bio sums it up best: networking & cybersecurity professional, Cisco instructor, passionate about making technology accessible through teaching and real-world applications.

Over the years I've worn many hats: Cisco Instructor Trainer, cloud trainer across AWS and Oracle curricula, ethical hacking mentor, and open source contributor — currently shipping Privacy Lock App, an Android privacy & app-locking tool built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. What ties everything together is one belief — technical knowledge only matters when it's passed on.

Based in Diyathalawa, Sri Lanka, I partner with global academies including Cisco, Oracle, AWS, Red Hat, Palo Alto Networks, Broadcom (VMware), Fortinet, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning to bring industry-grade training to students who wouldn't otherwise have access to it.
