About Sebak
Hello everyone, my name is Sebak Shrestha.
I come from a background in architecture and construction, with around 10 years of practical experience working on real projects in Nepal. Over the years, I have used technical drawings and design software like AutoCAD as a core part of professional work—not just for drawings, but for communicating ideas clearly on site.
Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Construction Management, which allows me to combine hands-on industry experience with modern construction practices and standards used today.
My intention in teaching AutoCAD is simple:
I want to help you learn practical skills that are actually used in the industry. This course is not just about learning commands, but about understanding how drawings are created, read, and applied on real projects. I will focus on clarity, accuracy, and good drafting habits that will help you whether you go into construction, architecture, engineering, or technical roles.
I also understand that learning software can feel overwhelming at first. My teaching approach is step-by-step, practical, and supportive, ensuring everyone can follow along, practice confidently, and ask questions without hesitation.
By the end of this course, my goal is for you to feel confident using AutoCAD and to understand why each drawing method matters in real-world work, not just how to use the software.
