Beginning Of The Journey

My OSM journey started from 21st May ,2019.I know about OSM and YouthMappers from the day when we got chance to attend Basic OSM Training conducted by Geomatics Engineering Students’ Association of Nepal.I learned about mapping,id editor,JOSM,adding point ,line and polygon.I was so excited to learn this and started contributing to OSM day by day.

Experience Throughout 250 Days

At the very beginning,I was happy to include my house and its surroundings in the map.Slowly, I started mapping different unmapped parts of my nation.I was motivated day by day in the mapping field because of my related academic field and impression from my senior Anil Basnet,top contributor of OSM from Nepal.I used to participate in different mapathons organized by GESAN.Improving day by day,I was able to become an intermediate mapper from beginner level. There are different projects to which I contributed.I never want to miss any chance to involve in such mapping projects as I had to learn many new things and skills on mapping and improve myself.On this journey , I have recently got a great opportunity as a Data Quality Intern at HOT.I have learned many new ideas on mapping and validation.I got to know the importance of quality mapping and quality data.Accordingly, I have made myself to perform quality mapping and validation with the use of different data quality tools. Here are some of the projects that I have contributed to the date.
