Biography

Vijyat brings a diverse background in information technology, finance, and engineering to his role at ACE, where he works directly with clients to deliver solutions in data acquisition and control systems. He led the Moving Ground Plane (MGP) Integration Project, overseeing its seamless implementation within ACE's testing environment.

A proud Automotive Engineering Ontario Tech graduate, Vijyat was ACE's first student intern back in 2010. Before joining ACE full time in 2016, Vijyat began his career as a Junior Financial Controller at Mercedes, where he managed OPEX and CAPEX budgets and prepared detailed financial reports. His cross-disciplinary experience and long-standing commitment made him the ideal choice to lead the $15 million MGP Integration Project, which significantly advances ACE's world-class testing capabilities.

Vijyat has consistently contributed beyond his core responsibilities. He has mentored Ontario Tech University game design students on their capstone projects and holds two patents. One is for fully functional financial application architecture, and the other is for a heads-up display interface on vehicles that integrates augmented reality.
