Building the future
of learning, with AI.

I'm Maher Dhami — founder of DevLy and a Computer Engineering student in Mumbai. I build AI systems that ship: RAG pipelines, LLM analytics tools, predictive models, and the products they power.

Founder story

From teaching five languages
to building an AI OS.

The short version of how a coding club turned into a full-stack AI practice.

2024

Started Computer Engineering at SAKEC

Began a B.Tech at Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, Mumbai — currently holding an 8.64/10 CGPA.

Jan 2025

Founded CodiePag

Hired and led a 3-person team, wrote an original curriculum spanning five programming languages, and ran three workshops training 20+ students.

Feb 2025

Joined SAKEC's Technology Business Incubator

Moved from teaching into incubation — coordinating mentors, student teams, and institutional stakeholders as Student Coordinator.

2025

Shipped seven AI/ML systems

RAG assistants, an autonomous data analyst, and dropout-risk prediction — each one deployed end-to-end, not left as a notebook.

Now

Building DevLy

Taking everything learned from running CodiePag's cohorts and folding it into a single AI OS for students.

I don't just build models — I build products people use. The gap between a working demo and something that survives real usage is where most of my time goes.

DevLy: an AI OS for students.

DevLy pulls everything a student needs — mentorship, workspace, courses, and planning — into one AI-native system, instead of five disconnected apps.

01

AI Mentor

A always-available guide that answers questions in context of what the student is actually working on.

02

AI Workspace

Where the student's notes, tasks, and material live alongside the assistant that helps make sense of them.

03

Course Generator

Turns a topic or goal into a structured course, instead of a student having to assemble one from scattered sources.

04

Personalized Learning

Adapts pacing and material to how a specific student learns, not a one-size curriculum.

05

AI Planner

Keeps deadlines, study time, and goals organized so students spend less time managing and more time learning.

How I build

One practice, six disciplines.

Every project draws from the same core — orbiting outward from applied ML to the leadership that ships it.
