I didn't choose engineering —
the problem chose me.

Growing up near Dolakha and studying in Kathmandu, I watched Nepal struggle with energy poverty — hospitals on diesel, villages in darkness. That frustration became my fuel.

Today I work at the intersection of renewable systems, data science, and climate policy. I've solar-powered rural health posts, led multi-stakeholder workshops across six provinces, and used machine learning to predict aircraft spare parts — because good engineering solves real problems, whatever the domain.

When I'm not modelling energy systems or writing in LaTeX, I'm teaching physics, completing Coursera courses, or dreaming up the next project that matters.

● Career Path

Where I've Made
an Impact

Four roles. Multiple partners. One shared mission: a cleaner, smarter energy future.

01
WindPower Nepal
Mar 2025 – Present · Lalitpur · Renewable Energy Engineer
+
Carbon Readiness Assessment · UNDP
Industrial Process & Product Use (IPPU) Emissions
Dug into the numbers behind Nepal's cement and brick industries to find exactly where carbon can be cut. "Analysed clinker reduction strategies that could reshape how Nepal's construction sector decarbonises."
PURE Platform Sensitization · ICIMOD
Strategic Engagement & Policy Integration
Led the room — literally. Organised 6 provincial workshops and 2 national-level sessions to embed a planning tool into government thinking. "Wrote the Strategic Engagement Plan of Action (SEPA) mapping PURE's path into Nepal's national planning system."
BEACON Energy Assessment · PRC
Household & Institutional Energy Access
Walked into homes, schools, and health posts to understand real energy access — not just what the data says. "Baseline data I collected will guide energy investment decisions for hundreds of households."
02
RECON — Volunteer Engineer
Mar 2025 · Lalitpur
+
Affordable RET Promotion · Renewable World
Community Awareness & Market Research
Researched what solar and clean cooking tech actually costs versus what communities can afford — then created materials to bridge that gap. "Coordinated a field event capturing real community willingness-to-adopt data from the ground up."
Solar for Healthcare · DFAT Nepal
Sustainable Healthcare through Renewable Energy
Designed and oversaw solar + battery backup systems for three health posts, ensuring lights stay on when patients need them most. "From preliminary design to installation QA — I owned the full technical lifecycle of all three systems."
03
Buddha Air
Nov 2024 – Feb 2025 · Kathmandu · Engineering Intern
+
CAMMOE — Maintenance Planning
Engineering Services & Technical Documentation
Stepped into aviation — where zero errors is the standard — and helped maintain the technical documentation that keeps aircraft airworthy. "This internship sparked a thesis: could ML predict which spare parts we'd need before we needed them?"
04
Chelsea World School
Feb 2022 – Nov 2024 · Kathmandu · Teaching Assistant
+
A-Level Science Support
Physics · Mathematics · Chemistry
For nearly three years, made the hardest A-Level subjects less scary — breaking down complex concepts for the next generation of engineers. "Teaching forced me to truly understand the fundamentals. It made me a better engineer."

Root Vegetable Washing Machine — Built From Scratch

Designed, built and tested a semi-automated agro-processing machine for small farmers. 80% washing effectiveness at optimal load. Every calculation done before committing to metal.

SolidWorksAnsysPrototype TestingAgro-Tech
📄 Peer-Reviewed · Published 2025

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Low-Cost Root Vegetable Washing and Peeling Machine

The fabrication thesis became a published paper. Accepted by a peer-reviewed engineering journal — demonstrating that practical, affordable agro-processing tools can meet rigorous academic standards.
