Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLahiru Samaraweera is an engineering manager with nine years of experience designing and operating scalable web systems that “survive contact with the real world.” He currently leads engineering at PetDesk after progressing through technical and team-lead roles at Vetstoria, where he repeatedly balanced long-term architecture with the need to ship reliable integrations. Lahiru emphasizes clarity, ownership, and pragmatic engineering—preferring boringly reliable systems that reduce operational surprise. He combines strategy, execution, and people leadership by setting clear directions, coaching engineers, and keeping one eye on business realities. With an MSc in Software Engineering from Kingston and a background in insurance analytics, he brings both domain insight and data-driven decision making to product delivery. Outside core responsibilities he enjoys hands-on web development and building systems designed for Monday mornings, not just demo day.
