About Me

Backend Software Engineer experienced in designing, building, and testing REST APIs and full-stack applications — focused on clean APIs, reliable systems, and practical product delivery.

I'm Ovesh Shaikh — a Backend Software Engineer most recently at PDDN Inc in Fremont, CA, where I designed and built RESTful APIs, backend services, and full-stack applications using Java, Spring Boot, Python, React, and PostgreSQL. I'm currently looking for my next backend role.

Experienced with authentication, API design, data modeling, database optimization, CI/CD, AWS deployment, and production debugging — always with a preference for clean architecture and systems that hold up under real usage.

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