About

Parag Dobariya is the CTO of JK Tech Hub and the engineer most clients meet on the second call — the one who turns a sales conversation into a working architecture diagram. With more than six years of hands-on experience across mobile, web and cloud, Parag leads the engineering team in Rajkot and is responsible for system design, code quality, deployment, and the technology choices behind every project the company ships. His background is unusually balanced for a CTO at a small studio: he writes production code most weeks, runs code review on every meaningful pull request, and personally owns the AWS and Docker infrastructure that hosts client deployments. On the mobile side, Parag has shipped React Native and Flutter applications for retailers, exporters, factory floors and service businesses — including the engineering for PhonsBook and the field-attendance modules used inside several manufacturing clients.

On the backend he works primarily in Node.js with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and has built or rewritten the API layer for most of the company's longer-running ERP and SaaS engagements. He is the team's de facto on-call engineer for any production incident, and his fingerprints are on every CI/CD pipeline the team uses today. Inside the team he is known for two things: an unusually patient code-review style with juniors, and a strong opinion that boring, well-understood technology beats novelty for SME clients who will live with this codebase for the next five years. Parag holds an engineering degree, is based full-time in Rajkot, and is reachable through the JK Tech Hub LinkedIn page.

He occasionally writes on the company blog about React Native architecture, Flutter performance, and pragmatic AWS setups for small teams.

Technologies Championed

Tools and approaches Parag actively pushes for inside the team.

  • React Native for cross-platform B2B apps with native performance hooks where it matters
  • Flutter for design-heavy consumer-facing apps with strict UI parity across iOS and Android
  • PostgreSQL as the default database for any non-trivial business application
  • Docker-based deployments on AWS as a baseline for every client production environment

Philosophy on Software

For SME clients, boring technology that we and the next engineer can debug in five years beats whatever framework launched this quarter.
Most production incidents come from configuration, not code — invest in deployment hygiene before clever architecture.
Code review is the cheapest training programme a small team has; treat it like one.
If a feature can't be explained to the client in one sentence, the implementation will not survive contact with their actual workflow.

Speaks & Writes On

Topics Parag is regularly invited to speak about at industry events and panels.
