“This recognition reflects not just my efforts but the dedication of an amazing team pushing boundaries every day. I’m so grateful for the people around me through this wild journey — and excited for what’s ahead!”
Hasitha said: “I’m truly honoured to be nominated for the ‘DevOps Professional of the Year’ award. This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our team at Zaizi in driving secure, efficient, innovative and quality cloud solutions for our clients in government.
“I’m proud to be part of such a talented group, and this nomination is a testament to our collective efforts in pushing the boundaries of DevOps.”
Our chief people officer Tracey Robinson said: “I couldn’t be more proud of Emily and Hasitha.”
“Emily came to us as a graduate not knowing what she wanted to do, so to see her thrive at Zaizi and be promoted twice gives me immense pleasure. Hasitha has been an unsung hero for all things devops at Zaizi for many years, so it’s great to see him nominated for this prestigious award.
“Both Hasitha and Emily live and breathe our values here at Zaizi, especially when it comes to Passion: they enthuse and inspire others, they love what they do and they always want to do better. And they truly both do exceptional things!
“Their success is a testament to our commitment to realising potential — we provide training and support that empowers our people to become experts in their fields and gain skills that are in high demand.”
