About Buddhika
Buddhika founded Meetrix and runs it as CEO. He came up through engineering rather than the commercial side, and set the technical direction for the WebRTC and video products the company is built on: the Jitsi Meet stack, Coturn, Kurento Media Server and the signalling and scaling work that holds a real-time video platform together.
His own background is in computer vision and image processing, including a peer-reviewed IEEE paper on detection and classification work using OpenCV, and he moved from there into real-time video systems. He studied Engineering at the University of Moratuwa.
He is also co-founder and CTO of ScreenApp, which builds AI recording, transcription and summarisation tools, and has worked on Tutopiya and Carevo. Most of his time now goes on running the business across both companies.
