Bio
Pethum Weerasinghe
Ravi is one of the most co-operative and helpful Systems Administrator I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Energetic, technically sound, he's always ready and willing to help, both professionally and personally. He has always showed a very professional and to-do attitude while working in a difficult environment. I have worked with him when resolving issues related to HR System in Linea Aqua and specially SQL server migration and system implementation in the second plant of Linea Aqua. It was success with minimum downtime because of him & his knowledge, professionalism and positive personality. Ravi is an excellent asset for whoever will decide to hire him. I wish him best of luck on his future endeavors and it is a great passionate to work with him.

Ravi was the most service driven in his team at IT Linea Aqua. His keenness to find a solution to any problem you throw at him was refreshing. He was a great self study and extremely pro active within his authority. Would recommend him anytime and hope to work with him again in the future.
