Women In Tech - Zinkworks

YOUR FUTURE, YOUR WAY

We know that our female colleagues are exceptional, and that their experiences will inspire new generations of women in technology.

 

By sharing their stories, we want to celebrate them and their abilities, but we also want to encourage women in our local communities – and across the world – to pursue a thriving career in technology.

Nishadi Wasala
Apprentice Software Engineer

My name is Nishadi Wasala, and I am passionate about backend development. In addition to my work as an apprentice software engineer at Zinkworks, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and reading books. Before starting my career in IT Sector, I worked in Sri Lankan Civil Service for over 10 years, where I held roles such as Deputy Commissioner and Divisional Secretary in various ministries, including Ministry of Public Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils and Local Government​

After moving to Ireland, I decided to shift my career from Civil Service to the IT sector. Although my first degree was in Computer Science, I had been out of the tech field for over a decade, and I had no prior experience in the IT industry. My journey back to the tech world was challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding. As a mother of two boys, balancing family life and career aspirations made the process even more demanding, but I embraced the challenge with determination.

Our goal is to develop a workplace where diversity is common, and the contributions and efforts of everyone are recognized and valued.
We seek to create an organization where women can thrive and reach their full potential.
