What My Peers Say About Me
Don't just take my word for it. See what my peers say about my work
Ruvindu is a great guy to work with, he is always on time for his deliveries and works on the tasks assigned to him with the best of his abilities. He is leaving my team for the reasons out of my control but would have loved to keep him on for as long as possible.
I worked with Ruvindu on upgrading various Java applications to improve security and undertake major framework upgrades. He is an excellent team player who consistently delivered high quality and efficient code. He always tries to find better ways of doing things by adopting new tools and technologies. I highly recommend Ruvindu for any software development role.
I have worked with Ruvindu for several months on a Snyk adoption project, during this time, Ruvindu has quickly had a good grasp of Westpac / St. George Online Banking applications, demonstrating a strong ability to learn, adapt and grow in a short period. His independent work style and solid knowledge in Maven, Java, JSP, and JavaScript has enabled him to address several issues successfully and efficiently. Dedicated and focused, he consistently met deadlines, ensuring the applications remained secure and reliable for our customers.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ruvindu on the Compass application at Westpac, and it’s been a great experience. He’s not only a talented Java Developer with strong technical skills, but also a genuine team player who’s always ready to collaborate and support others. His positive attitude and commitment make a real difference, and I truly enjoy working alongside him.
