The Engineer Behind the Code

I'm Dhairya Desai, a CS undergrad at IIIT Vadodara (2024–2028) who loves building production-grade software that actually ships.

My Story

I started coding because I wanted to build things — real things that people could use. Fast forward to now, and I've built AI-powered career platforms, secure cloud storage systems, and resume analyzers — all deployed to production.

My engineering philosophy is simple: build with purpose, optimize for scale, and always ship. I care deeply about clean architecture, readable code, and user experience.

I enjoy working at the intersection of AI + web development — using modern tools like Next.js, Supabase, and Prisma ORM to build applications that are both powerful and maintainable.

Outside of building, I'm consistently grinding DSA problems (600+ solved) and deepening my understanding of system design, distributed systems, and backend architecture.
