About me

About Jawad Shaikh

I'm a senior software developer who enjoys working where reliable enterprise engineering meets practical AI.

Over the past four years, I've built full-stack applications, REST APIs, banking automation platforms, analytics tools, and document intelligence systems. My work spans Python and Django backends, React interfaces, relational databases, and microservice-based integrations.

More recently, I've focused on LLM-powered products including RAG assistants, semantic search, contract intelligence, OCR/NLP extraction, and source-grounded automation. I care about solutions that are secure, understandable, maintainable, and genuinely useful to the people operating them.
