Sampath Edirisinghe

Hello Everyone!

I am Sampath and I have been working with different networks such as Wi-Fi, Visible Light Communications, LoRaWAN, and 5G/6G for more than 5 years. Most of these works involved the use of network simulations at some level.

I also have spent quite some time building embedded systems for cool and boring projects :D

So, I thought of sharing my experience with you so you can get your work done faster than I did!
