About Raja Mehboob

Portrait of Raja Mehboob-Ur-Rehman
Raja Mehboob-Ur-Rehman Kharian, Punjab, Pakistan

I'm based in Kharian, Pakistan, and I work where clear design and reliable servers meet. To me, software engineering means turning what people need into systems that hold up in production.

I believe platforms succeed when the scope is honest, the infrastructure is dependable and knowledge is shared with the next builders, usually over a cup of karak chai.

How I work

Design to deployment
  1. 01. Design

    Layouts first

    Responsive screens and design direction prepared and agreed before development starts.

  2. 02. Scope

    A complete scope document

    Content types, fields, pages and behaviour written down so a build can move without guesswork.

  3. 03. Build

    Solo or with a team

    I build projects myself, or lead trainees through the build from the scope document and review their work.

  4. 04. Deploy

    Server and release

    Setting up the Linux server, Nginx, PHP-FPM and SSL, then releasing the site.

  5. Throughout: Teach

    Knowledge transfer

    What I learn on each project becomes sessions and exercises for junior developers and students.

Currently learning

Automating builds and deployments to remove manual server steps.

CI/CD with GitHub Actions
Docker

Let's build something dependable together.
