I worked with Shashika for two and half years in his capacity as the lead of our Quality Engineering team. Shashika lead with a high level of personal responsibility, and ensured that our customers always served as his team’s guiding light. He placed high importance on his team working strategically, and practiced continual improvement to ensure that we were always taking on the latest best practice. Shashika operated transparently and with open and frank communication to ensure his team was working collaboratively with all other teams and roles. I believe Shashika would perform highly in any QE role he took on.

I had the pleasure of working with Shashika for 2.5 years. In his role as Senior Lead Software Quality Engineer he managed delivery, contributed technical direction and assisted in bringing our projects up in quality. He implemented new frameworks for our automation suite to increase maintainability, managed the team scheduling and tasks and coded to a very high standard. He is an excellent communicator, very professional and has a great positive attitude. I thoroughly recommend him for any new challenge he takes up.
