About Me
Mapping complex places into clear stories.
I am a Geomatics Engineer from Nepal focused on geospatial data science, WebGIS, spatial data engineering, and remote sensing. My work spans large OpenStreetMap datasets, UAV imagery, LiDAR, Google Earth Engine, and spatial analytics for urban mapping and environmental insight.
I enjoy projects where strong technical systems meet human context: humanitarian mapping, inclusive geospatial communities, smarter routing, infrastructure planning, and data-driven environmental work.
