Oxford, Earth. Originally from Sri Lanka.

Curious about how things connect.

I'm Ashwin, a Partner Solutions Architect at WSO2. I help partners and enterprises connect APIs, identity and AI agents so the whole system stays clear, safe and easy to run.

About

A little context from this corner of Earth.

I grew up in Sri Lanka and now live in Oxford. That combination has left me with a fondness for warmth, colour, old stories, green roads and a properly made cup of tea.

By day I make sense of APIs, integration, identity, cloud platforms and, increasingly, AI agents. The part I enjoy most is finding the simple idea hidden inside a complicated system, and explaining it so that both the CIO and the developer nod at the same moment.

Now

What I'm working through at the moment.

Updated September 2026

  • Identity for AI agents. How an agent proves who it is, and whose authority it is acting on, when it calls tools and other agents.
  • Authorising MCP servers. Applying proper OAuth scopes and consent to the tools agents are now allowed to use.
  • AI gateways. Putting the same governance, rate limits and observability around LLM traffic that we already expect for APIs.
  • Local AI experiments. Small models, small scripts and a lot of "could this work?"
What I do

What I help partners and teams do.

I work with technology partners, hyperscalers and global system integrators on how systems should connect, how people and software prove who they are, and how platforms grow without becoming impossible to manage.

Partner architecture

Building joint solutions with partners

Working with AWS and global system integrators on reference architectures, integration patterns and the technical side of taking solutions to market together.

Identity and access

Making sign-in secure and simple

Customer and business identity, single sign-on and access control that keep systems secure without getting in people's way.

CIAM, B2B identity, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect

APIs and integration

Connecting old systems and new ones

API platforms and integration that let legacy systems, cloud services and partners exchange data cleanly and reliably.

Agentic AI

Taking AI agents from demo to production

The gateways, identity and guardrails that let AI agents use real tools and data safely, with every step governed and observable.

Writing

Signals I send out.

All writing on Medium

Off duty

The things in my orbit.

Orbit 1

Guitar and sound

I have played guitar for years. I like getting a phrase just right, and there is always another song to learn.

Orbit 2

Roads and quiet miles

The English countryside with calm music is how I clear my head. The destination is often secondary.

Orbit 3

Making and tinkering

Local AI experiments, cloud labs, small bits of code and occasional hardware, usually started with "could this work?"

Orbit 4

Mind, space and reality

Consciousness, perception, gravity and time, and how much of reality is constructed inside our heads.
