Eshan Jayamanne, PE — Founder
I’m the Founder and CEO of Krane. We are building an AI-native platform to make construction supply chains predictable from spec to install. I lead a global team of engineers, designers, and operators focused on making construction more predictable, efficient, and sustainable. More about me: I’m originally from Sri Lanka, where construction runs in my family — three generations deep. I grew up inside the business, learning from my father and grandfather as they built and operated our firm. Along the way, I saw just how fragmented and inefficient the industry could be. Now, I’m building to fix it. With 15+ years in engineering and construction, I’m building AI solutions to redefine how construction supply chains work. I studied at Stanford Graduate School of Business and hold a Master’s in Engineering Project Management from UC Berkeley. Always open to connecting — eshan@krane.tech
