About Dilina
Dilina, originally from Sri Lanka, moved to Finland last year to pursue a master’s degree at the University of Oulu. Prior to his move, he had a successful career in the ICT and telecommunications sector, where he served as a product manager at Sri Lanka Telecom PLC.
Diving into Data Management
While Dilina had a solid background in product and project management, he wanted to broaden his expertise, particularly in data management, an area that’s increasingly important in his field. This led him to enroll in the Data Mastery course offered by TechClass.
“I wanted to get a good understanding of the data space, especially how it relates to product management,” Dilina explained. “I wasn’t aiming to become a data scientist, but I wanted to grasp the basics of data management and how it connects with my work.”
The Data Mastery for Specialists training covered essential topics in data management, helping Dilina refresh his knowledge and gain new insights. While he hoped for slightly more advanced content, he found the training valuable for reinforcing the fundamentals. “It was a good experience to revisit the basics, and it gave me a solid foundation,” he said.

He highlighted two key reasons why he believes the platform is a great choice:“The platform is easy to use and very flexible. You can learn at your own pace, which makes it convenient for busy professionals.” and also, “The courses are highly relevant to the tech industry, making them a great resource for anyone looking to enhance their skills.”
