Recommendations
Working with Vihanga on the AMR Project at Schaeffler Warehouse, Vadodara was a powerful reminder of how the right collaboration can transform a good idea into something truly outstanding. What stood out in our partnership was Shared Decision-Making. Throughout the project, Vihanga consistently contributed insightful solutions to complex challenges, that pushed our work to a higher level. His strong project management skills, combined with a broad interdisciplinary perspective, made this partnership not just effective, but inspiring.
Working with Vihanga has been a smooth and solid experience. He's the kind of person who takes ownership of his tasks and follows through without needing to be chased. What stands out the most is his calm, focused approach even when timelines are tight or things get complex. He communicates clearly, works well across teams, and always brings a solution-oriented mindset. You can count on him to get things done properly, and with a good attitude throughout. Vihanga's a dependable professional and someone I'd be glad to work with again.
I've had the privilege of working alongside Vihanga on some really exciting projects in the pharmacy automation and robotics space. While I focused on web development, Vihanga was the go-to guy for anything related to Flutter — he's not just good, he's brilliant at what he does. His designs are always on point, and his code just works, smoothly integrating complex functionality without missing a beat. Vihanga's knowledge isn't limited to just software — he's also a specialist in robotics, particularly in hotel automation. He has this amazing ability to bring together software and hardware in a way that makes the robots not only work flawlessly but also deliver a great experience for users.
