How TechQilo started
TechQilo was founded by Randula Jayarathna while studying and working in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. Randula started working with local businesses and quickly found that he cared more about what happened after the work was delivered than simply finishing another project — and TechQilo grew out of that.
A lot of that early work was with the people who keep a local economy moving. Independent businesses, trades, women-owned businesses and LGBTQ+ owned businesses. Owners doing everything themselves who needed technology to help the business, not create another problem. When you pay someone to build something, you need them to answer when you call — that is the standard TechQilo is built around.
Watching those businesses grow became the part Randula enjoyed most. More enquiries coming in. An owner getting busier. Someone taking on staff. Seeing a TechQilo website play a part in that is what makes the work worthwhile.
Randula’s background is in systems where reliability is not optional. MTN Network’s Mobile number portability platform support for around 30 million subscribers, held to a 98% SLA at 99.99% uptime, with mean time to resolution cut by 40%. Enterprise data operations supporting more than 10,000 McDonald’s locations across the USA.
