Hi! I’m Vihan, a graduate mechanical engineer from the University of Moratuwa…

Welcome to my portfolio!

A collection of my individual projects & contributions….

When interest becomes obsession:)

0 % less development time
0 kg of weight savings

Total car: 259kg

0 % faster acceleration
Only a 0 % higher budget

OBSERVE. ADAPT. ANALYSE. EXECUTE

Projects & individual contributions

“Too late” isn’t a matter of ‘if’, only ‘when’…” – self quote

To adapt & produce results in a fast-paced environment

My time as Falcon E Racing’s Team Lead, & experiences executing turnkey production plants at Maviksel, taught me the best result is defined by not only viability & performance of the solution, but most importantly, its timely execution.
