Building geospatial solutions for real-world impact.
I am Dinesh Lamichhane, a geospatial professional specializing in GIS, remote sensing, drone-based mapping, and geospatial data analysis. My work focuses on applying advanced spatial technologies to support disaster risk management, infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development.
About Me
I am a Geomatics Engineer with advanced expertise in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, drone-based mapping, and geospatial surveying. My work combines spatial data analysis, field-based surveying, and geospatial visualization to develop practical solutions for real-world challenges.
I have contributed to projects related to disaster risk assessment, humanitarian mapping, infrastructure planning, tourism mapping, and land use analysis. By integrating satellite imagery, UAV data, GNSS surveys, and spatial modeling, I transform complex geospatial datasets into clear insights that support planning, resilience, and sustainable development.

Featured Projects
A few selected projects from my portfolio.
Migration Atlas of Nepal – Spatial Analysis of Internal and International Migration Patterns
Analyzed migration patterns across Nepal using spatial data and demographic datasets to develop an interactive migration atlas supporting policy planning and regional development analysis.
GIS-Based Cell Tower Planning and Network Enhancement - HEXAGIS
Conducted GIS-based spatial analysis for cell tower planning in Malaysia to identify optimal locations and improve network coverage and performance.
Khumai Dada Trekking Route – 3D Terrain Visualization and Trail Mapping
Created a detailed cartographic visualization of the Khumai Dada trekking route near Pokhara, Nepal, integrating GIS-based terrain modeling and spatial analysis. The map highlights key trekking stops, elevation points, and terrain features to support route planning and tourism awareness.

Earthquake Impact Visualization & Damage Assessment Tool
An interactive web application for real-time seismic data visualization and impact analysis. Users can directly visualize live and historical earthquake data on a dynamic map, explore impact zones based on magnitude and depth, and build custom earthquake scenarios anywhere in the world to simulate potential damage extents. The tool generates structured damage assessment reports, making it a practical resource for disaster preparedness, risk planning, and emergency response operations — applicable globally across any region or country.
Python
DEM Analysis
Hydrology
Watershed Delineation & River Trace Tool
An automated watershed analysis tool that works with a free global open-source DEM — making it instantly usable anywhere in the world — as well as custom DEM uploads for higher resolution or localized terrain data. Select a river or pour point and it automatically delineates watershed boundaries, traces downstream flow paths, and maps the full drainage network. Built for water resource management, flood risk assessment, and hydrological research without requiring advanced GIS software.
3D Models
Photogrammetric 3D models produced from drone-based aerial surveys and inspections.
Martin Hall — Rooftop Inspection
Drone2MapA high-resolution 3D model of Martin Hall produced as a byproduct of a drone-based rooftop inspection survey. Captures detailed surface geometry and texture for structural analysis and documentation.
More 3D models coming soon
