About me

Electrical Engineer with an M.Sc. in Power System Engineering. I am an aspiring researcher with a focus on distribution automation, protection coordination, grid synchronization, and reliability improvement. With over three years of professional experience, I have worked as an academician, consultant, researcher, and electrical engineer in various organizations across Nepal. Previously, I worked with several organizations as a freelancer, providing technical expertise in distribution line design, detailed feasibility studies (DFS) for deep tubewell irrigation pumps, home automation, and electrical building design. My core areas of interest include distribution automation, power system resilience, improving distribution network reliability, and grid synchronization of micro-hydropower systems.
