Dhiraj Arya

Self-taught Engineer

I’m a self-taught engineer. I learn by building, breaking, and figuring things out. My degree so far is from YouTube University.

I build SaaS products, developer tools, and small utilities — mostly with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

Lately, I’ve been exploring AI and building things that solve problems I actually have. When I figure something out for real I write it down.

I like computers, learning, and shipping small things.

Open to interesting projects, collaborations, or just a good conversation.
