About
About Orison Academy LLC
Orison Academy LLC is an Austin, Texas-based online tech academy founded by Himaya Nawanjani Weerasingha Pathiranage on a gentle but powerful conviction — that the beginning of a learning journey matters just as much as its end. An orison is an aspiration, a hopeful first reaching toward something meaningful, and Himaya named the academy to honor exactly that spirit: the quiet ambition of a learner taking their very first step toward a career in Artificial Intelligence.
Where much of online education overwhelms newcomers with noise, complexity, and false urgency, Orison Academy was built to feel like first light — clear, calm, and full of possibility. Our courses are crafted by working AI engineers and data scientists who understand that genuine mastery grows best from a confident, unhurried beginning.
Based in Austin, Texas, Orison Academy LLC serves a growing global community of learners who want their journey into AI and Python to start right — and to last.

Founder & Chief Education Officer, Orison Academy LLC
Himaya Nawanjani Weerasingha Pathiranage founded Orison Academy LLC after observing how often promising learners are lost not at the difficult peaks of a subject, but at its very beginning — discouraged by online courses that mistake overwhelming volume for depth and false urgency for rigor. Himaya envisioned something calmer and more humane: a tech academy where the first step feels welcoming rather than intimidating, and where that early confidence becomes the foundation for genuine, lasting expertise. Under Himaya’s leadership, Orison Academy has built a curriculum defined by clarity, patience, and quiet ambition — one that meets learners exactly where they are and guides them steadily toward where they want to be. Himaya leads the academy’s instructional design, instructor standards, and long-term vision, ensuring every course begins with light and ends with mastery.

Testimonials
Voices at First Light
★★★★★
Orison’s Machine Learning course was the calmest, clearest learning experience I’ve had. It never overwhelmed me and never left me behind. I moved into an ML engineering role four months after finishing.
Nathan R., Austin TX★★★★★
Python First Light is beautifully named. I started with zero experience and, for the first time, coding felt approachable instead of intimidating. Six weeks later I was building real scripts at work.
Amara P., Houston TX★★★★★
The Generative AI course teaches exactly what the industry is doing in 2025, and it does so with real depth and real care.
Marcus L., Seattle WA★★★★★
What makes Orison different is the feeling. Himaya built something that respects the learner’s pace. Every lesson feels considered and kind.
