Kukaraj Tharmasegaram
Kasun joined our team as a consultant to help us with scaling the product. He is one of those rare talents who not only has an immense technical knowledge and experience but also an admirable soft skill. He was instrumental in proposing and deploying a new code quality system and brought in processes and tools for code reviewing and deployment which increased the productivity of the team. His experience in the tech industry also helped us in coming up with recruitment process which helped us identify tech talent at ease. He can play a vital role for any team in their growth, and I wish him best of luck for his future endeavours.

Kasun joined to develop sophisticated product with python backend and ReactJS Frontend. He immoderately took on the responsibility of the Techlead and streamlined the code review process. He came up with innovative solutions to eliminate cherry-picking and defined a proper dev Ops methodology. He set code deployment checklists and versioning in different branches. This improved the productivity and efficiency of the team immediately. He did most of the RND tasks as the acting TL for the team and always came up with out of the box solutions. Sort from his technical skills I noticed that his soft skills such as negotiation and communication were up to the mark. He always stepped in to support other team members and he marinated a high team morale. I wish him all the best for his future endeavors and happy to work with him again.
