BASED IN RIYADH · ORIGINALLY FROM SRI LANKA

I engineer the reliable.
I prototype the impossible.

I'm Hansana Ranaweera — a software engineer building enterprise financial systems, intelligent products, and experiments where code meets the physical world.

01 — STORY
FROM CURIOUS BUILDER TO SYSTEMS ENGINEER
THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODE

A lifelong habit of building things.

My journey began with robotics, programming competitions, and a belief that technology should solve meaningful problems. I was recognized nationally as a young computer scientist, then went on to study Computer Science at the University of Colombo School of Computing.

Today I work across full-stack engineering and production support for financial trading platforms. Outside enterprise systems, I explore computer vision, local AI, immersive interfaces, robotics, and IoT — always trying to turn the next experiment into something useful.
