Dinali
Abeydeera
I build the people side of tech companies: hiring the right talent, putting the right processes in place, and shaping a culture people actually want to work in. From sourcing candidates to running payroll, performance cycles, and full HR operations, I bring structure and strategy to every stage of the employee journey without losing the human touch.
I've hired across Sri Lanka's local market as well as for global clients internationally. My work spans roles from junior to senior, frontend to backend, and well beyond tech, covering marketing, finance, customer service, and more.
“My favourite part of HR? Watching people grow into roles they once thought were beyond them.”
