Please read below to get to know our latest addition Maneesha, a young and talented software developer situated in Eskilstuna, Sweden.

I began my career at IFS Sri Lanka, starting as a Software Engineering Trainee in November 2020 while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Software Engineering from Curtin University, Australia.

 Having finished the trainee program I worked as Software Engineer at IFS Sri Lanka, a role I held for 3+ years. During this period, I was part of developing and maintaining IFS’ products. I was responsible to do the so-called CRIMs (Configurations, Reports, Integrations and Modifications) in the versions of IFS Cloud and IFS APPS10. I managed issues in Life Cycle Support (LCS) applications and handled incidents in those. Additionally, I conducted training programs for new joiners, while continually updating my technical knowledge, investigating new technologies to enhance software efficiency.

 In November 2023, I joined Bitzify as a part-time Software Engineer, working remotely from Sweden for 6 months. My focus remained on IFS ERP. My role at Bitzify involved software development of CRIMs, integrating existing software products, and supporting and maintaining software solutions for client organizations. During my soon to be four years working with IFS’ ERP systems I have experienced a number of clients, projects and solutions, doing my outmost to help the customer’s getting the most out of their investment.

 I see myself as a problem-solving, analytical person with a strong ability to multitask. On that note, I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Software Engineering at Mälardalen’s University here in Sweden, further expanding my knowledge and skills. Recently, I collaborated with three other students on a project for Alstom in Västerås to develop a web application. My passion for software engineering and commitment to excellence continue to drive me forward, which is also what lead me to Align…

 Right before summer I joined Align in Sweden. I got the opportunity to immediately enter into an ongoing activity at one of Align’s Swedish IFS Cloud customers, and it feels great to be able to contribute to their success. So far I must say I really enjoy it at Align; the skilled people but mainly their lack of prestige. I simply like my nice colleagues and the atmosphere here. Looking forward to continued growth personally, but also for Align and for our customers.

 Finally, on a more personal note: I live in Eskilstuna together with my husband. I fancy chocolate a lot. Ending with a quote that I like, almost as much as the mentioned chocolate:

 ”Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” – Albert Einstein

Again: Welcome to us at Align!
