M.Sc. Media Informatics student at Saarland University with industry experience in ERP systems, banking software, and enterprise UX design. From Nepal 🇳🇵, now building things in Saarbrücken 🇩🇪.
I'm Dayaraj Dhungana, a UX designer and software engineer from Nepal, currently pursuing my M.Sc. in Media Informatics at Saarland University in Germany. My academic focus sits at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Interactive Systems, and human-centered AI.
Before moving to Germany, I spent years in Nepal's tech industry, designing UX for ERP platforms at Vidhypro Crafts, building frontend systems for banking and QR payment products at Bitskraft, and doing graphic design work at Damsole Technologies. Each role taught me something different: research and systems at Vidhypro, engineering discipline at Bitskraft, and visual communication at Damsole.
My bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Tribhuvan University came with a full scholarship and the highest academic performance in my department, something I'm quietly proud of. Now in Germany, I'm pushing further into HCI research, AR systems, and human-centered AI.
Human-centered design rooted in real research

Brötchen, strong coffee, Figma open. The contrast between Germany's calm precision and Nepal's chaotic energy still surprises me every day.

Nepal, Germany, and moments in between. I shoot when something catches my eye, not a photographer, just someone who pays attention.
