About Me

Backend-first, full-stack capable software engineer focused on clean APIs, reliable systems, and practical product delivery.

I'm Ovesh Shaikh — a Software Engineer at PDDN Inc in Fremont, CA, where I build SaaS web applications end-to-end using Java, Spring Boot, React, and Python.

I've worked across backend systems, data workflows, nonprofit platforms, and frontend interfaces — always with a preference for clean architecture, reliable APIs, and systems that do not fall apart under real usage.

Outside code, you'll find me watching sports, playing games, or collecting ideas for the next side project.
