About

I am a certified Geomatics Engineer, registered in the Nepal Engineering Council, and hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Geomatics from Kathmandu University, Nepal. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in the Copernicus Master in Digital Earth program at the Department of Geoinformatics (Z_GIS), Paris-Lodron University Salzburg, Austria, for the first year. In the second year, I will specialize in GeoData Science at the University of South Brittany (UBS), France.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed organizations such as the GeoInformatics Center, Naxa Pvt. Ltd., and Airlift Company, participating in projects at local, provincial, national, and international levels. My contributions span diverse initiatives for respected institutions, including the University of Twente (UT) in the Netherlands, World Food Programme (WFP), World Bicycle Relief (WBF), Bhutan Construction and Transport Authority, Geodetic Survey Division of the Survey Department in Nepal, Clean-up Nepal, Changunarayan Municipality, and Kathmandu Metropolitan City. This journey has provided me with substantial expertise in WebGIS, geospatial programming, GIS, UAV technologies, remote sensing, and disaster management. I am particularly passionate about academic research and have published three articles in reputable journals, one conference proceeding, and one academic blog. My current research interests focus on leveraging the potential of emerging geospatial technologies, including digital twin, 3DGIS, and geospatial programming, within the field of urban infrastructure and disaster management
