Thushara Jayawardena is in his fourteenth year of working in the software development industry. Right after he graduated from university in 2001, he joined the IFS world operations (http://www.ifsworld.com/) development center in Colombo, Sri Lanka. His early years were spent as a junior SW engineer. He then moved into SW systems as a system engineer, overseeing mission-critical production systems. During this time, he became a principal systems engineer, and also moved to Sweden in 2007 where he started working at the head office of IFS in Linköping, Sweden. From 2014 to date, he has been working on product benchmarking for IFS. He has mainly worked with technologies, such as Oracle RDBMS, J2EE systems, and Jboss/Oracle WebLogic. He is also knowledgeable about various scripting technologies and languages, such as PowerShell and VB scripting. In recent years, he's been active in monitoring tools written in Angular JS and Google graphs. In the field of product benchmarking, he has worked with data science, especially generating synthetic data for load simulations. He has also spent considerable time at work on performance testing tools, such as HP LoadRunner.

In his spare time, apart from travelling and enjoying different cultures with his son, daughter, and wife, he spends time with Android, Google App Engine, and Raspberry Pi home-brewing projects.
