Asantha Thilina is a Technical Specialist with 10 years of software engineering experience, currently leading development efforts at Wiley after progressing through senior engineering and associate technical specialist roles. He brings strong backend expertise in Python, PHP, Hibernate and Spring, alongside practical WordPress and web development experience from earlier roles building e-commerce and CRM/ERP systems.
