Bio
Pramitha Samarakoon
I have worked with Nipun during his stay at Adventus. He is a person with outstanding interpersonal skills and talent in product management. It’s proven that he has impressive analytical skills as he has been providing solutions in complex scenarios. He is a fast learner and has knowledge on many areas including Project management. Nipun was one of the major talents with outstanding qualifications in the Product team. He is always on point, straightforward, and responsible for the work assigned. He played the product manager role for multiple squads. Nipun possesses outstanding communication skills when refining requirements and always open to suggestions and feedback. He gives direct and honest feedback to the developers during the desk checks & in 1:1s. This has been a great opportunity for the team members to perform in their roles very well and career progression as well. Nipun has proven leadership skills and has never hesitated to support his colleagues. Wish him all the best!

I didnt report directly to Nipun, but Nipun was one of the BAs I looked up to in Camms. Nipun has strong stakeholder and expectation management skills and was wearing multiple hats. Nipun had a lot of responsibilities in his hands and that should be evidence to how much you can have faith in Nipun as he is someone who gets things done, and is also very approachable. He has a strong grip of agile and was one of the few people who taught me what being agile was really about and was instrumental in our organization adopting it. Due to Nipuns knowledge in product management and Business analysis, I can recommend him for any role in these areas with no hesitation.
