Portrait of Nirdip Sijapati

A civil engineering undergraduate

I explore the intersection of civil engineering, computational thinking and practical design — documenting what I learn and building what I can.

I'm Nirdip Sijapati, a civil engineering undergraduate at IOE, Purwanchal Campus, Dharan, Nepal. My interests span civil engineering fundamentals, surveying, engineering computation, digital tools and practical design.

I enjoy learning through coursework, field activities, collaborative projects and independent experimentation. I'm particularly interested in how engineering principles and emerging technologies can work together to solve practical problems.

This portfolio documents my academic journey, project work, technical interests and continuing development — a growing record of what I have explored, built and hope to learn next.
