Civil & Structural Engineer
I design reinforced-concrete buildings and write code for structural analysis. Right now I'm studying for a Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering at the Asian Institute of Technology and interning at CSI Bangkok.
About
I grew up in Kathmandu fascinated by bridges and tall buildings, and that never really wore off.
I studied civil engineering at Cosmos College of Management and Technology (Pokhara University), graduating with a 3.6 GPA. My final-year thesis was the design of a multistoried semi-commercial RCC building to NBC 105:2020, and I led the team that did it.
From December 2023 to February 2025 I worked as a civil engineer at Hints Consult, designing structures, supervising sites and keeping clients up to date. Now I'm at the Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand, studying for a Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering, and interning at CSI Bangkok.
Away from work I trek, take photographs, read and write code for fun.
Projects
A nonlinear finite-element program in MATLAB using Q8 elements, Gmsh meshing and a hyperbolic concrete material model, with incremental, Newton–Raphson and displacement-control solvers. Results benchmarked against ANSYS.
View code
Minimises the weight of the 72-bar space truss benchmark by sizing 16 member groups under stress and nodal displacement constraints, coupling a truss finite-element analysis with an optimization algorithm. Results compared with published benchmark solutions.
View code
Reads Gmsh 4.x mesh files, builds the node and element tables a finite-element solver needs, exports them to Excel and plots the mesh for checking.
View code
Linear and quadratic bar elements with Gauss quadrature, applied to a tapered bar under body force and end load, with the shape functions derived symbolically.

A three-storey shear-building model: natural frequencies and mode shapes, then the forced response integrated with the Newmark-β method.

Bachelor's thesis, as team lead: load calculation, beam, column and slab layout, ETABS analysis to NBC 105:2020 and IS 875:1987, foundation design from soil data, and a cost comparison of materials and methods.
A ten-day camp covering topographic, road-alignment and bridge-site surveys with total station, theodolite and levelling. Won the best-leadership award among 24 groups.
A console program that asks for span, loading and stiffness, then uses superposition and the conjugate beam method to find slopes and deflections.
A study of how different kinds of bricks are manufactured and how they are marketed.

Tools
Two free tools I built for the quick numbers that come up on site. They run in your browser and send nothing anywhere.
Cement, sand, aggregate and water for a concrete pour, and bricks and mortar for a wall with openings.
