Top SchoolMilindu Kumarage is a Lead Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building cloud-native, event-driven systems and developer-facing tooling, currently driving engineering at ObvioHealth and recognized as a Google Developer Expert in Cloud. He blends hands-on backend and SRE experience—authoring APIs, worker-queue systems and IaC—with frontend leadership, having launched React micro-frontends and a reusable component library at Lexagle. A pragmatic team lead, he has run SRE teams, automated production deployments, and designed fine-grained authorization workflows that balance security and usability. As a co-founder of RSVP.lk and an active open-source contributor (notably backend work on scorelab/Bassa for bandwidth-optimized downloads), he pairs entrepreneurial instincts with community mentorship dating back to Google Summer of Code and Code‑In roles. Based in Colombo and with a formal CS background from UCSC, he is equally comfortable in technical design, client-facing demos, and recruiting top engineering talent.
