About Sam Perera

With more than 20 years of experience in the Tech sector comprising teaching others how to code, commercial software development, systems analysis, business analysis, data analysis and process improvement, I am meticulously familiar with both traditional waterfall and modern agile methodologies and ways of working to deliver software applications which go hand in hand with corresponding process improvements.I have had the opportunity to work in business domains such as manufacturing including ERP, banking and finance, business-to-business integrations, retail & Point-of-Sale, supply chain, eCommerce, digital sales and marketing platforms, and mobile applications.I am an enthusiastic and energetic individual with a highly agile mindset, who continuously looks for challenges in Information Technology and areas of improvement. My passion is to deliver valuable outcomes for customers and organisations that will improve productivity, reduce waste and increase their competitive advantage.I am a passionate advocate of improving team performance by motivating individuals to cross-skill, collaborate and continuously reflect and learn.Apart from work, I love being a dad of two wonderful kids, beating drums, travelling, cycling, working out, reading, listening to podcasts, and writing articles to share my knowledge and experiences with a wider audience.๐ˆ ๐š๐œ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ž๐๐ ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐๐ข๐š๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ˆ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž. ๐ˆ ๐ฉ๐š๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐œ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ž๐๐ ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐š๐ฅ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ.
