Hi, I'm Dakshesh Jain

I am an engineering-first software developer focused on building production-grade backend systems. Over the past two years, I have worked on real products where reliability, performance, and security were not optional. Most of my work sits in backend systems using .NET and Django, with PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, and Redis. I am comfortable across the stack with React and Next.js, and have deployed and maintained systems on Azure and AWS.

I tend to approach problems from a systems perspective. I care about clean data models, predictable APIs, and code that remains understandable six months later. I have worked inside legacy codebases, improved them incrementally, and taken ownership of modules that required structural fixes rather than surface patches. In one instance, leading security hardening efforts helped us clear independent penetration testing without high-risk vulnerabilities and avoid damage from a small-scale attack.
