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.

Live Earthquake Monitoring & Analysis Platform
An interactive WebGIS application designed to visualize both real-time and historical earthquake activity worldwide. The platform integrates live earthquake feeds with historical seismic records, enabling users to monitor ongoing events, analyze temporal patterns, and explore earthquake distributions through dynamic, interactive maps.
Built with usability and geospatial analysis in mind, the application provides powerful filtering and visualization tools that support researchers, students, emergency planners, and GIS professionals in understanding seismic activity and identifying high-risk regions.
ArcGIS Pro
Python
Arcpy
Horizontal Curve Detection Tool
An ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tool developed for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) that automatically detects horizontal roadway curves from centerline data and calculates engineering parameters such as curve radius, delta angle, curve length, and tangent length. Designed to automate roadway geometry analysis, improve processing efficiency, and support transportation safety and infrastructure management across large road networks.
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.
Road Collapse Near River 3D Model
Drone2MapA high-resolution 3D model of a river-adjacent roadway corridor created from UAV RGB and thermal mapping data collected along the Tallapoosa River, Alabama. Captures detailed terrain, roadway, and riverbank geometry to support flood impact assessment, infrastructure monitoring, erosion analysis, and documentation of collapse-prone areas.
