ABOUT ME

16+ Years of Excellence in Test Automation & AI-Driven Engineering

Anjana Kulasinghe With over 16 years of experience in the IT industry, I’ve built a career focused on software quality, automation excellence, and pragmatic engineering practices. My journey began with hands-on manual testing and evolved into designing and delivering scalable, enterprise-grade test automation frameworks that reduce risk, cost, and time-to-market.
Today, I operate in an AI-augmented engineering environment, leveraging IDE-integrated agents and advanced language models to accelerate development workflows. This includes orchestrating tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude (Opus/Sonnet), Gemini, and other emerging agent-based systems to support test design, code generation, debugging, and large-scale refactoring.
Rather than treating AI as a standalone tool, I apply it as part of a controlled engineering workflow-selecting the right model for the task, validating outputs rigorously, and ensuring quality, maintainability, and correctness remain uncompromised. AI acts as a force multiplier, while architectural decisions, engineering judgement, and accountability remain firmly human-led.
An Agile/Scrum practitioner and mentor, I enjoy guiding teams, shaping quality strategies, and improving engineering maturity through automation, data-driven insights, and thoughtful adoption of modern engineering practices.

TEST AUTOMATION

Designing and evolving scalable, enterprise-grade test automation ecosystems across UI, API, and integration layers. Focused on reliability, maintainability, and fast feedback cycles-enabling teams to ship with confidence while reducing manual overhead at scale.

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Delivering pragmatic performance engineering using tools like JMeter to simulate real-world load, identify bottlenecks early, and validate system resilience under production-like conditions.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Driving quality as a system, not a phase-establishing strategies, governance, and engineering practices that embed quality into delivery pipelines. Mentoring teams to improve maturity, ownership, and long-term sustainability.

AI-AUGMENTED DEVELOPMENT

Operating within an AI-assisted engineering workflow using IDE-integrated agents and modern tooling (Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to accelerate development, refactoring, and test creation-while maintaining full control over design, correctness, and architecture.

LLM-DRIVEN ENGINEERING PRACTICES

Applying large language models as part of structured workflows for test design, debugging, analysis, and documentation. Selecting the right models for specific tasks and validating outputs rigorously to ensure production-grade quality.

INTELLIGENT TESTING STRATEGIES

Leveraging AI-assisted techniques for test design, dynamic data generation, API analysis, and faster defect investigation. Integrated into structured workflows to improve speed and insight-while keeping all decisions grounded in engineering judgement.

“ My goal is to help teams evolve from Automation-Enabled Delivery to AI-Assisted, Judgement-led Quality Engineering. ”
