My Story

Hello! I'm Devraj Jhala, a passionate full-stack developer currently pursuing my Masters in Computer Science at BITS Pilani – Goa Campus. Over the years, I’ve interned at various startups and mid-sized companies, building modern web applications that are fast, responsive, and scalable. I love working with technologies like Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript to create clean and intuitive UI experiences.

My journey into development began during the second year of my undergraduate studies when I built my first project — a simple portfolio website — by watching and copying code from YouTube tutorials. That small beginning sparked a curiosity that eventually turned into a serious passion for web development.

As I delved deeper into the field, I explored frontend tools like React, Redux, and TypeScript, and gradually transitioned to understanding API design and backend technologies like Node.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Firebase. Discovering the power of Next.js transformed the way I approached full-stack development — making it faster, more efficient, and a lot more enjoyable.

Beyond coding, I enjoy sharing what I learn. While I don’t blog regularly, I write on Hashnode whenever I feel something is worth sharing — especially best practices, developer tools, or anything I wish I had known earlier. Writing helps me reflect and also connect with other developers on a similar journey.

Apart from tech, I’m someone who believes in continuous growth, consistency, and adding value. If you're reading this, I genuinely appreciate your time and would love to connect. Feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or LinkedIn — or check out my projects on GitHub.
