3 years at WSO2!

I joined WSO2 exactly 3 years ago, on 1st December 2005. There were only around 15 employees at that time. After changing 3 companies in 2 years, I was finally able to find happiness & satisfaction at WSO2 :) So 3 years seems to me like a long time :) The work has always been challenging & rewarding. The WSO2 team is undoubtedly one of the best in the world. I was part of the team that did several pre-1.0 Axis2 releases and was also a core member of the WSO2 Tungsten team, which went on to become WSO2 WSAS. I've seen WSAS grow up from its infancy to become a highly useful & sophisticated piece of technology; the forthcoming WSAS 3.0 release shall bear testimony to this statement. I've also seen WSO2 go through several phases of its growth. I also got the opportunity to contribute to several other leading open source projects such as Apache Synapse, Apache Axiom, Apache Rampart & WSO2 Registry. The culture at WSO2 is so much different to those in other Sri Lankan IT companies. The open nature & transparency, in terms of software development as well as other aspects definitely keeps me motivated. I've learned that the open source software development model is one of the best software development models. The community driven development, agility & collaboration leads to high quality software.

I've always felt that WSO2 is my second home.
