About Me
Transforming complex challenges into elegant, user-centric solutions
I'm Lankesh Halangoda, a Solutions Engineer with a strong foundation in software engineering and a distinct eye for UI/UX design.
I began my professional journey as a Software Engineer, building full-stack applications. My early interest in UI/UX design naturally shaped my approach to development, and over time, this became one of my defining strengths—my work was frequently recognized for its usability, visual clarity, and attention to user experience.
As I grew in my career, I realized there was more value I could deliver beyond traditional development roles. I was drawn to understanding why systems were built, how clients used them, and where technology could better serve real business needs. That's when I discovered the role of a Solutions Engineer—and immediately knew it aligned with how I think and work.
What defines my approach is simple: I take ownership of challenges, regardless of role boundaries. My goal is not just to deliver solutions, but to contribute directly to business growth, efficiency, and long-term value. With over 3 years of experience across engineering, UI/UX, customer success, and pre-sales, I bring a strong cross-functional perspective and a deep understanding of end-to-end solutions.

What I Do
Solutions Engineering
Bridging the gap between clients, business teams, and developers by translating complex technical capabilities into clear, practical solutions. Working on top of existing products, I explain solutions in simple, non-technical terms while ensuring technical feasibility behind the scenes.
UI/UX Design & Development
Leading UI/UX initiatives as the primary contributor, revamping solutions with production-ready code alongside designs. Unlike traditional design-only roles, I enable developers to move faster by providing both design and implementation, reducing their workload significantly.
Custom Solution Development
Building custom technical solutions for clients that reduce friction, improve outcomes, and minimize engineering workload. I also develop internal tools and automations that help streamline workflows and reduce human error.
Pre-Sales & Technical Consultation
Supporting sales and marketing teams by converting complex technical concepts into clear, value-driven conversations. I regularly participate in client meetings, walkthroughs, and go-live sessions, focusing on clarity, impact, and outcomes.
