Nishanthan Baskaran
Technical Product Engineer
10+ years of experience building full-stack SaaS platforms. Currently architecting an AI-driven carbon accounting platform at Atmoz.io, connecting enterprise ESG systems at scale. Having navigated both corporate and startup environments, I thrive where process meets chaos.
What I bring to the table you ask?
The ability to ask the right questions. It sounds simple, but it’s the catalyst for genuine foresight unlocking greater value than ever imagined. Building strong relationships with both customers and teams is something I pride myself on. I’ve found that a transparent communication style brings immense value to everyone involved in the process.
What else do I do?
I am a proud owner of a vending machine which is placed at Hatch, a co-working space in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Why a vending machine, you may ask? I am expanding my horizons when it comes to healthy snacking and bringing that to the public

Redefining how archiving works. Having set up platforms like CollectiveAccess (Providence) and PastPerfect, I kept noticing a major issue: legacy archive systems just aren`t bringing real value back to organizations That’s why I started Echo Museum. We`re automating the entire archiving lifecycle to turn stagnant records into active, valuable assets.
