Senior🎓
Top SchoolChaminda Wijayasundara is a technology executive and AI strategy leader with 26 years of broad engineering experience and a decade in senior leadership roles, currently serving as Vice President & Distinguished Architect of the Gen AI COE at Virtusa. He founded and leads a 30-engineer GenAI Guild & Research Lab, shipping language-agnostic code generators, code analysis and testing toolkits, multimodal and agentic RAG solutions, and over 50 business use cases including a generic invoice processor and a trading assistant. Known for modernizing legacy systems at scale—from COBOL-to-Java transformations to cloud migrations across Azure, GCP and AWS—he previously orchestrated global banking modernization programs and led engineering organizations of 500–1000+ engineers. Chaminda blends hands-on architecture, research and deployments with practical performance optimization and eval frameworks, having tuned GenAI services in production for insurers and evaluated industry tools like TruLense and LangSmith. He is an active open-source researcher, publishing frameworks and experiments around LlamaIndex, LangGraph, AutoGen and CrewAI, and pairs a Master’s in IT with deep domain experience in finance and telecom systems. Less obvious: he often translates legacy enterprise code into modern OO designs automatically, turning decades-old artifacts into reusable microservices blueprints.
