Head of Operations @ 360 Labs
Mechatronics Engineering (UG)
Meet Chamath, your mechanics instructor.
Chamath is the boss. He’s the founder and CEO of 360 Labs. He’s a pretty down to earth guy and you wouldn’t think he’s the CEO when you seem him out on the road looking for the delivery guy bringing his 17th Uber Eats order for the week. Chamath’s story begins with 3D printing. He was the first to build an FDM Core XY printer on his own in Sri Lanka and was even featured on the news for his achievements. Chamath is the most experienced in the 360 Labs teams in terms of industrial engineering projects having contributed to over 20 industrial and automation engineering projects. He also has a lot of experience and skills in other aspects of life ;). Even after years of experience in the field, if you ask about him some cool engineering concept you cannot help but notice the child like joy in his eyes and voice when he starts explaining it to you. His passion is contagious.
Meet Yuneth, your programming instructor.
Yuneth is that guy who sits on his own in the corner of a party and looks like he’s plotting an assassination. He doesn’t talk much but if he gets comfortable with you, he’d be talking nonstop about a completely random fact and cracking really weird jokes. Ask him about water rockets and he’ll start bringing up stories from his school days about when he used to be famous because of rockets and he definitely won’t forget to mention the fact that he helped his school win a Guinness World Record. Apart from the nerdy science talks, Yuneth loves to have long conversations (arguments) with anyone on any interesting topic. When he’s not staring at a C++ code trying to figure out why the output prints ‘10’ instead of 2, he’s out there staring at some wall which he thinks was built in the 18th Century.
Meet Kaveesha, your mechatronic Instructor.
Now Kaveesha doesn’t actually have robots deployed on the moon. It’s just an inside joke among the 360 Labs team. He seems to like visiting the moon quite often though. iykyk. When we asked him to share a fun fact about himself, “I would do anything for food” is what he said. Kaveesha is a really fun guy to have around… that is until he starts talking about the “Inverse kinematic model” he made for a 5 bar manipulator. Kaveesha is a Mechatronic undergraduate who’s totally obsessed with robotics… and maths. He’s that guy who loves showing how cool math can be turned into awesome robots. One of his coolest projects is “HOPE,” a Mars rover that he built on his own. Plus, now he’s been tinkering with quadruped robots and parallel manipulators, and other very cool projects which you can ask him about 🚀.
