01 / THE HUMAN ELEMENT +

Most people
pick a lane.
I picked an ocean.

There’s a thread connecting circuits and steel, pixels and physics.

I’m Nimsandu, reading for a BSc. Engineering (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering at SLIIT. My path started at Ananda College and grew into software, design, ICT workshops, and the craft of building things with people.

I like problems that don’t fit neatly into one field. The useful ideas often live somewhere in between.

MATTER / MOTION / CONSTRAINTS

Understand it.
Then build it.

Mechanical engineering brings the ideas into the physical world: CAD, materials, mechanisms, and prototypes that have to work beyond the screen.
