About

I am a Civil Engineer registered with the Nepal Engineering Council (NEC) Category A, with hands-on experience in stormwater drainage design and AutoCAD drafting for Australian clients.

During my three years at Soil Test (P) Ltd. (until March 2026), I served as lead drafter for international civil and stormwater projects, handling architectural plan cleanup, roof drainage layouts, catchment area analysis, on-site detention (OSD) design, and driveway sections. I am experienced in delivering accurate, client-ready drawings on tight timelines while coordinating across remote teams.

My technical skills include AutoCAD (2D), QGIS, DGPS surveying, and Microsoft Office. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering and bring over 3 years of multi-disciplinary project experience across infrastructure, geotechnical, and drainage engineering.

I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision — making me a dependable freelance partner for Australian-based civil and stormwater drafting work.
