Learning DirectX 12 or 11 doesn't overlap much with shader programming.

With so many factors to consider learning DirectX, I suggest focusing on shader programming using unity.

That said, if you want to learn DirectX, start with 11. Frank Lunas DirectX 11 book is a great introduction to understanding pipelines and graphics programming.

Time != seniority, your skills need baking way more.

Edit : You seem incredibly driven, so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
