About Me
I am a dedicated fourth-year Civil Engineering student with a strong foundation in core engineering principles and hands-on experience. With a passion for building sustainable and efficient systems, I bring a blend of technical knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills to every project.
I am proficient in engineering software such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and ETABS, and I am committed to ensuring structural stability, environmental responsibility, and adherence to safety standards. Whether working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team, I take pride in delivering high-quality results that meet both client expectations and community needs.
Outside of my academic career, I enjoy playing football, trekking, photography, and spending time with friends and family.
Academics
Academic Background
Currently enrolled in the final year of the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering program at Pokhara University. Throughout my academic career, I have consistently maintained a strong academic record while actively engaging in practical projects, technical workshops, and interdisciplinary learning. My education has provided me with a solid foundation in engineering principles, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of the built environment.
Research & Innovation Focus
My academic interests lie in developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure. I am particularly focused on innovative solutions such as smart construction materials, energy-efficient building systems, and advanced monitoring techniques. I also explore how emerging technologies like AI and IoT can be integrated into civil engineering to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in construction practices.
Construction Techniques & Project Management
I have gained practical experience in modern construction techniques and have developed a solid understanding of project management processes in civil engineering. I am adept at overseeing the execution of construction projects, ensuring quality, safety, and adherence to timelines, while also incorporating sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact.
Projects
Sunkoshi Marin Diversion Multipurpose Project (SMDMP)
Sunkoshi Marin Diversion Multipurpose Project (SMDMP) is one of the National Pride Project being developed by Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation (Nepal). The project got the status of National Pride Project on 20 January 2020. The project is an inter-basin water transfer project aimed to transfer water from the Sunkoshi River to the Marin river, a tributary of the Bagmati River. The flow will be augumented to the Bagmati Irrigation System to irrigate an additional 122,000 ha of land in Rautahat, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Sarlahi, and Bara.
