about
I'm Sahan — a first-year B.Sc. (Hons) Information Technology & Management student at the University of Moratuwa, building things that actually work — from soldering a custom PCB to deploying a real-time IoT dashboard.
My route into engineering started with a six-month IT internship at the Kandy District Secretariat and an NVQ Level 4 certification in ICT. My first university project — an optical pH sensor — pushed me to design custom circuits, write embedded C++ firmware, and ship a web interface, all on my own.

work
Four projects taken end to end — firmware, circuit design, and the interfaces that sit on top of them. Each one shipped rather than sat in a notebook.
