About Me

I am a passionate Geomatics Engineering student at Kathmandu University with strong interests in geospatial analysis, open-source technologies, and sustainable development. I have worked on projects involving GIS-based landfill site suitability and route optimization, and I am currently exploring web development to integrate geospatial data into interactive platforms. As Secretary of the Geomatics Engineering Society, I am actively involved in organizing technical events and promoting innovation in the geospatial field.

Key Projects

Geo-Hackafest 2024 Winner

Created a utility website for spatial queries and visualizations with multi-criteria filtering.

3D Physical Model of Block 9

Designed a detailed 3D model of Block 9 using topographic and architectural data.

Large-Scale Solar Power Plant Site Selection Using GIS and AHP

Utilized GIS and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to identify optimal locations for solar power plants, focusing on sustainability and efficient land use.

Integrated Approach to Waste Management in Banepa Municipality

Co-authored a research paper combining GIS, AHP, and network analysis to optimize waste collection routes and identify suitable landfill sites in Banepa Municipality.

Traverse Calculator Using Java and GUI

Developed a desktop application for automated traverse calculations featuring a user-friendly GUI, aimed at simplifying field data processing for surveyors.

Explore Kathmandu

This map provides an interactive overview of Kathmandu's administrative boundaries, including provinces, districts, and local units—displayed dynamically based on zoom level. You can toggle layers such as hospitals, tourist sites, and police stations to see their distribution across Kathmandu. Clicking on a local unit displays its name, area in sq. km, population, and the number of nearby tourism or emergency service features—helping users understand spatial patterns and service coverage across the city.

Emergency Services Proximity Tool

This tool allows users to assess the proximity of emergency services—such as hospitals, clinics, police stations, and fire stations—from my key personal locations like Home (Chhaimale), Green Hill School, Bernhardt College, and Kathmandu University. Users can specify a buffer distance in meters and see which emergency facilities fall within that radius. This spatial analysis helps visualize how well-served each base location is in case of an emergency.


Shortest Route to Emergency Services

This smart routing tool helps you find the fastest road-based route from my location (such as home, school, or university) to the nearest emergency service. After selecting a starting location and choosing a service type (hospital/clinic, police, or fire station), the tool uses real-world road networks to compute and display the shortest route on the map. It’s designed to simulate emergency navigation scenarios, enabling users to visualize and understand critical access paths during crises.
