Lahiru De Silva

Worked on the kgateway-dev/kgateway and wso2/docs-choreo-dev repositories to deliver features focused on policy management, traffic control, and deployment reliability. Developed backend enhancements such as policy merging, chaos testing frameworks, and improved observability, using Go, Kubernetes, and Envoy. Implemented asynchronous JWKS fetching with retry logic, configurable filter ordering, and support for PROXY protocol and client certificate forwarding to strengthen integration and security. Contributed to documentation by refining egress policy guidance and onboarding materials. The work emphasized robust API design, clear configuration options, and safer rollouts, addressing both technical depth and operational clarity across backend and infrastructure components.
