Bio
Kanchana Gunasekera
I worked closely with Sithira over the last two years at Twinery working on first-to-the-world technologies for the apparel sector. Sithira is hard working and reliable, technically proficient and eager. The team we were on grew to rely on him to execute mission-critical tasks satisfactorily and on-time. As a mechanical engineer, Sithira showed talent and inclination towards mechanical design, controls and became well versed in design for manufacture practices and trouble shooting complex machinery in a production environment. Additionally to his technical responsibilities he worked on design-of-experiments (DOE) with the team and gave critical input from a mechanical engineering perspective on setting up the most efficient way to converge to a satisfactory solution. Sithira’s soft-skills and favourable demeanour allowed him to work seamlessly with colleagues, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders inside and outside of Twinery and across multiple countries and cultures. I have no hesitation in recommending Sithira and I have no doubt he will add tremendous value to whatever organisation or group he joins.
