Kajan Subash Balachundaram

I possess 12+ years’ experience specializing in ICT, Management Information Systems (MIS), Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL), and Knowledge Management in Sri Lanka’s International Development/Humanitarian sector, most recently at World Vision and Scope Global. I have hands-on experience using MIS and ICT systems for applied social research, data management, analysis, and reporting/dissemination that contribute to decision-making, adaptive management, and improvement quality in development/humanitarian sector programming. As an example demonstrative of my capacity to engage in specialized Data Management and Results Monitoring/Reporting, I worked within World Vision Lanka’s Strategy and Evidence Department, supporting 30+ field offices and the National Office with managing, analyzing, and reporting data emerging from multi-sectoral programming funded by both national and international donors. In this role, I have proven cross-functional leadership, accuracy, and innovation skills by developing quick, real-time dashboards based on internal data drawn from numerous repositories, and (digital) community feedback mechanisms which have contributed to the organization’s agility, particularly during COVID-19. I hold an MBA in e-Governance (InfoTech/InfoSec) awarded by General Sir John Kotelawala Defense University, a Professional Membership form the British Computer Society (MBCS), an Associate Membership form the Computer Society of Sri Lanka (AMCSSL), Membership from the Internet Society, Sri Lankan Chapter, and additional qualifications and expertise in ICT, MIS, and Knowledge Management as applicable to the International Development/Humanitarian sector. My ultimate career objective is to secure a position in the International Development sector that will allow me to contribute and utilize my extensive experience and qualifications in Information Systems, Data Management, Data Analysis, IT Policy, Strategic Planning, Info/Security, and IT Project Management in order to deliver and ensure high-quality programming.
