Sithira Pathirana is a Software Quality Engineer with a decade of experience designing and leading QA for enterprise systems across fintech, eLearning, ecommerce and programmatic advertising in Europe, US, Israel and Sri Lanka. He combines hands-on automation (Selenium, Rest Assured, Karate, Cypress) and performance/security testing with test-pyramid-driven processes and CI/CD at scale, currently applied at N26 in Berlin. Sithira has led and mentored cross-functional QE teams, built API/UI and data-migration automation (DBFit, DynamoDB APIs), and introduced tooling such as OWASP ZAP and AppDynamics to improve release reliability. Comfortable across Java, C#, Python and multiple databases and messaging systems (Postgres, Cassandra, Kafka, RabbitMQ), he often bridges dev and ops concerns by owning release verifications and logging/observability. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic test design, training new hires, and turning complex integration scenarios into automated, auditable checks.
