I am Sasika Jayawardana, a Senior Software Quality Engineer based in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with 8+ years of experience in manual and automated testing across web and mobile platforms. My strengths include test case design, exploratory testing, defect lifecycle management, and ensuring quality throughout the SDLC in Agile environments.
