What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying GIS and remote sensing to environmental and infrastructure problems, with opportunities for hands-on fieldwork, team leadership, and growth in geospatial machine learning.

I am a Geomatics Engineer with hands-on experience in field surveying, geospatial analysis, and environmental modeling, gained through internship and academic research projects.

I led an undergraduate thesis project predicting PM2.5 and PM10 in Kathmandu Valley using multi-source remote sensing data and machine learning, achieving R² up to 0.84.

I also led research on groundwater potential zoning using AHP, bivariate statistics, and machine learning, producing maps and recommendations with RFAUC = 87.2% and supporting sustainable water-resource planning.

I work with ArcGIS, QGIS, Python (Pandas, GeoPandas, Rasterio, scikit-learn), PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and surveying tools (Total Station, GNSS, Drone), and I am passionate about applying geospatial technologies to solve environmental and infrastructure challenges.
