Pabasara F.

Python Automation Engineer | API Integration, Scraping & AI Workflows

Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka

I build Python automations and API integrations that take repetitive operations off your team - scripts and backends that run on schedule, handle their own errors, and don't need babysitting. CORE PYTHON AUTOMATION API integrations between systems that don't talk to each other, scheduled jobs, browser automation and scraping with Playwright, and data transformation scripts with real error handling and logging built in. Recent: an automated crypto trading bot - Flask API on Azure with a real-time dashboard. It has run unattended for 18 months and executed 654 trades, 405 of them profitable. Eighteen months of uptime is the part I'm proud of: it handles its own failures instead of waking someone up. APPLIED AI RAG pipelines over private documents, FastAPI backends for AI tools, and LLM integrations using LangChain and vector databases (pgvector). - An offline RAG assistant indexing 70GB of Wikipedia ZIM archives, running fully local with no internet connection - A knowledge system over 11,400 notes doing relation mapping and vector search (FastAPI, PostgreSQL/pgvector, Redis, Celery) - A production RAG system for business analysis, delivered ahead of schedule and rated 5.0 TRACK RECORD 100% Job Success. Both completed contracts rated 5.0 - "a clear communicator and delivers prior time perfectly." I also ship production software outside automation: a POS system running in 100 shops, and an Android camera app published on the Google Play Store. That background is why deliverables come with clean architecture and documentation, not just a folder of scripts. HOW I WORK Fixed scope, defined deliverables, and a working prototype before you commit to the full build. If you have a manual process eating hours every week, tell me what it is and I'll tell you straight whether it's worth automating.

I convert your vision models from a notebook executable file to a production ready application. The real reason you cannot run your custom vision models with real-time accuracy and latency is the un-optimized tech stack and inconsistent training data. What I Build and Deliver: ✅ Dataset annotation and analysis (OpenCV, Roboflow) ✅ Object detection & segmentation | YOLO, RT-DETR, SAM ✅ ByteTrack, BoT-SORT based multi-object tracking ✅ Pose estimation & motion analysis using YOLO-pose, MediaPipe ✅ Application specific feature extraction (e.g. polygon zone based counting) ✅ Model optimization for high speed inference through OpenVINO, TensorRT, ONNX, and FP16/INT8 quantization ✅ Edge deployment on Jetson Orin, Raspberry Pi, Mobile phones ✅ LLM agent integration for alert automation and reasoning ✅ Real-time inference (10 - 30 FPS) and (50 - 200 ms) latency - depends on the hardware stack I am an Engineer with 2+ years hands-on experience in deploying Machine Vision pipelines under heavy real-world lighting and occlusions, which are the key practical issues most engineers don't solve. Domain Expertise: ➡️ Intersection traffic motion analysis (delay times, vehicle density/detection zone) ➡️ Product anomaly detection, production line tracking, off-site reading of analog gauges, worker safety monitoring ➡️ Ball tracking for trajectory analysis, real-time pit lane monitoring ➡️ Theft detection, shelf monitoring at retail stores ➡️ Fabric edge detection for automated sewing, depth based grasp estimation with 3D cloud generation ⚙️ Technical Stack: Python, C++ | OpenCV | Pytorch, TensorFlow | YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLOv11, YOLO26 | DeepSORT, ByteTrack, BoT-SORT | RT-DETR, RF-DETR | MediaPipe, OpenPose | FastAPI, Docker, AWS SageMaker | ONNX, OpenVino, TensorRT, CoreML, NCNN | Roboflow, CVAT, LabelImg | NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi 5, Coral TPU | LangChain, Claude, Gemini, GPT 📩 Let's talk if you have a project or an idea that involves visual data. I will layout my technical approach and we can discuss any alterations before you commit to the project.

🌟 ISTQB® Certified QA Engineer 🌟 Associate QA Engineer at IFS R&D International 🌟 1.5+ Years of Enterprise and Freelance QA Experience 🌟 Strong Manual Testing with Practical Automation Skills 🌟 5-Star Rated Upwork QA Tester About Me: I am an ISTQB®-CTFL certified Software Quality Assurance Engineer with hands-on experience testing real-world web applications in both enterprise and freelance environments. I currently work as a QA Engineer at IFS R&D International, where I contribute to enterprise-scale systems that require high reliability, accurate data handling, and disciplined release validation. Alongside my enterprise role, I actively support Upwork clients by performing structured manual testing, logging high-quality defects, and reviewing applications from an end-user perspective. I approach testing with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility toward the user experience, not just feature validation. I am comfortable working across different domains and can quickly adapt to new products, technologies, and business requirements. The following are some of my core competencies. • Manual QA testing of web applications • Functional, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing • Test planning, test case creation, and execution • End-to-end user flow validation and usability review • Defect tracking and reporting using Jira • Reviewing UI implementations against Figma designs • API testing using Postman (REST, authentication validation) • Basic database validation using SQL • Selenium WebDriver automation using Java • TestNG, JUnit, and Cucumber (BDD) based automation frameworks • Page Object Model for maintainable test automation • Cross-browser testing and basic Selenium Grid execution • CI-friendly testing practices and release validation • Experience working in Agile and DevOps-driven teams • Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with developers 🏆 Reviews and feedback from my clients 🏆 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Ravindu is an exceptional, highly impactful QA tester. He approached testing with a deep sense of ownership, curiosity, and responsibility toward the end user, not just the product. What truly sets his work apart is his ability to think like a real user while testing like an engineer. You didn’t just identify issues, you helped the team understand why they matter and how they affect user confidence and flow. Also looked into application code that helped in narrowing the fix time.” How I Work: I focus on clarity, consistency, and accountability. You can expect well-documented test cases, clear defect reports, timely communication, and honest progress updates. I test beyond happy paths and always explain the real impact of issues so teams can prioritize fixes effectively. If you are looking for a QA engineer who thinks like a user, tests like an engineer, and takes responsibility for product quality, I would be happy to discuss how I can support your project.
