Committee Member – Dil

Born and raised in Sri Lanka, I moved to Perth, Australia, in 2006 with my wife, bringing with me a lifelong passion for technology and a deep commitment to giving back. From a young age, I’ve felt a responsibility to help others and have made it a priority in my life. Over the years, I’ve donated more than 300 computers to those less fortunate, as well as to schools and community centers, hoping to empower individuals with the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

I firmly believe in the principle that “reuse is better than recycle”—whenever possible, I aim to find ways to extend the life of tech and make it useful for someone who needs it. This approach has allowed me to make a sustainable impact by giving old technology a new purpose, reserving recycling only for items that have truly outlived their usefulness.

As a father to three wonderful children, I am grateful every day for the opportunities we have. My wife and I are committed to teaching our kids about empathy and helping them understand how fortunate we are. Showing them the value of compassion and sharing what we have is one of the most meaningful experiences in my life.

I’ve always been a “tech guy” at heart, and sharing that passion with others has become one of my greatest joys. Through small contributions, I believe we can make a significant difference, not only in our own lives but in the lives and careers of those around us.
