BSc (Hons) Electronics & Telecommunication EngineeringSLTC Research UniversityThesis: E-Nose, ML-based ripeness detection.// ABOUT
Engineer by training. Founder by choice.
I'm Ruchira Sachinthana, from Bandarawela in Sri Lanka's hill country. I build intelligent products that join hardware, AI and software, and I research how technology can make communities more inclusive.
I studied Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering at SLTC, then completed a Graduate Diploma in Business Management with a perfect 4.0 GPA and the academic Gold Medal. In 2024 I founded WEMIXT. We've since delivered 24+ projects for the Ministry of Health, MAS Holdings, UK immigration firms and others, and I've mentored 15+ young developers along the way.
