I build reliable enterprise software quality through automation, API testing, and Agile QA leadership.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered quality assurance across enterprise Telecom, Healthcare, and eCommerce products for 17 years. At IFS, I lead QA activities in Agile delivery environments, design Playwright automation scripts, and support high-quality releases with structured planning and execution.
Previously at Adventus Education, I tested a global student recruitment platform and improved test coverage across end-to-end user workflows. At John Keells IT, I performed REST API testing, validated SOAP-to-REST migrations, and tested IoT-integrated enterprise systems.
My work spans Selenium, Playwright, API testing, backend and integration testing, cross-browser validation, and distributed global delivery teams. I also use AI-assisted automation scripting with Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
