Most enterprise AI projects die in the compliance review not the Jupyter notebook. I build the ones that survive both. I'm Vidura, a Senior AI/ML Engineer & Line Manager at Virtusa, specializing in production GenAI systems where safety, governance, and ethics aren't afterthoughts- they're architecture decisions. If your AI passed demo day but is stuck in legal review, procurement limbo, or a "who owns this model?" debate, we speak the same language. Over seven years, I've shipped 50+ AI/ML projects, led solution architecture for GenAI and ML applications on AWS and GCP, and managed engineering teams through the messy reality of taking models from prototype to production in regulated environments. Before Virtusa, I co-founded Trinet Innovations as COO where I learned that the hardest AI problem isn't the model, it's translating technical capability into business value that boards and compliance teams will actually approve. That lesson shapes everything I build today. A few proof points that matter more than certifications: → Contributed to consciousness-AI research on Hanson Robotics' Sophia through Omdena's global research team → U.S. Department of State Professional Fellow ,selected to represent AI innovation from Sri Lanka → IEEE PES Award recipient for power-sector AI research → Operational Lead, AI SGE Chapter Sri Lanka driving regional AI knowledge-sharing and community growth → Delivered 62+ technical workshops and mentored 500+ engineers, students, and startup founders across 30+ countries → GCP AWS Certified ML Specialist | Certified AI Security & Governance Practitioner → MSc candidate in AI & Data Science, University of Sri Jayewardenepura Three reasons people land on this profile: 🔹 You're an enterprise leader wondering if your GenAI initiative will survive procurement, legal, and audit. DM me and I offer a 30-minute scoping call. 🔹 You're a founder building an AI product and need a fractional AI lead or architecture review. My calendar link is in Featured. 🔹 You're an engineer or student who wants to build AI that actually ships. My newsletter and free playbooks are pinned at the top of my profile start there. I come from an AI + Power Engineering background, with astrophysics and cosmology as a hobby field. Toggling between grid stability challenges about how galaxies hold themselves together built an early habit of respecting the physics before trusting the model. That cross-domain instinct now shapes how I apply AI across power systems, healthcare, and whatever regulated problem lands on my desk next.
