Thushara Jayawardena is a very strong asset in software development as well as in the software service industry with more than 15 years of experience in systems administrating. That experience has contributed to this book. The main responsibility of the current day job is performance engineering for a leading European ERP software provider. It translates to system configuration and installations, followed by end-to-end automated performance testing. Scripting is an integral part of all these components.

His spare time is spent partly developing a user guide for tourist attractions for Android and IOS devices. The cloud backend for the solution comprises Mongo Cloud DB services and Heroku app dynos, run on Nodejs. Thushara also spends time with systems on chip devices such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino-like boards. Here, the focus is on IOT-type solutions.

Thushara is a loving father and husband who values his family very much and makes sure homebrewing doesn't come between him and family. He's been living nomadic since 2007, or rather migrated to Sweden with his family and moved around a bit in Sweden, and currently is living south of the beautiful port city of Gothenburg. He enjoys Scandinavian life, simplicity, and respect very much and is keen on improving his skiing skills during the winters up in the Swedish mountains. He has also worked on Raspberry Pi Android Projects.
