About Shanaka Fernando
I’m Shanaka Fernando, a freelance AV technician with over 16 years of experience in Sri Lanka’s live events industry. Since 2010, I’ve worked on productions of every scale — from major shows to intimate private events.
The best technical work is the kind that goes unnoticed. Clear sound, sharp visuals, and seamless operation keep the focus where it belongs: on the performance, the message, and the audience.
I adapt the approach, crew, and equipment to the specific needs of each event, and I work closely with organisers, production teams, and artists so the technical side fully supports their vision. Clients return because I arrive prepared, communicate clearly, and stay calm when plans change at the last minute — as they often do in live events.
I take freelance work across Sri Lanka. If you’re planning an event and need a reliable technician from setup through to the final cue, get in touch.
