Bio
Geeshan Siriwardena
Sahani is one of the few amazingly intuitive QA engineers I’ve known. She understood the product extremely well and had an unparalleled ability to track down parts of the software that needed fixing. She would often come up with relevant use cases that were not previously considered to make sure our test plans were robust and well executed. She also played a mentor role to other junior members of the team and volunteered to help anyone when she could. Throughout all of this, she always had a smile on her face and a can-do attitude, making her a favourite among developers even when she raised the highest number of bugs. It was a delight to work with Sahani, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a first-class QA engineer and a colleague.

I have worked with Sahani in same project in CodeGen and it was a pleasure to work with her. She is truly talented person and best in QA engineering, and also a fast learner. The best thing I saw with her was, she is a very good team player and always trying to help others with her knowledge. She understands her industry, and she understands people. Her leadership, professionalism and friendship are qualities that are hard to come by in any industry. These qualities among many others would make her a great asset to many industries and organizations. I wish her all the very best with her future endeavors.
