Moe Loubani Software Developer / Development Consultant

About Me

I'm a software developer from Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. I've been creating websites and writing software to add functionality to those websites for over 10 years. I've worked with all sorts of different technologies and services: Javascript (React, Vue, jQuery), PHP (WordPress and Laravel), SES, S3, ECS, Cloudsearch from AWS, Docker, Git and SVN for revision control, Terraform, Datadog, Okta and more. Check out my blog or about me page to learn more.

What I Do

Development

Architecting solutions and writing code to see them through to launch is one of the things that brings me the most satisfaction in what I do. I offer senior level software development in Javascript and PHP, with senior/team lead level experience when it comes to developing for WordPress (plugins and themes).

Consulting

Consulting is something that can save you time and money throughout every step of the process of developing a new website or application or adding new functionality to an existing one. By planning things out from the start and identifying potential problems early on you will waste less time, you’ll have less headaches, and you’ll spend less money.

Bug Fixes and Maintenance

Have a WordPress site or plugin that you’ve been working on and run into an issue that you haven’t been able to solve? I can find the errors, debug them and find out what’s causing it/them, suggest solutions and then implement those solutions. I can also provide ongoing maintenance that includes updates and minor bug fixes that come up during the updates.

Management

Have a team of developers that you need managed? I can take a project from planning to finish, delegating tasks to team members depending on what their strengths are. I then assist those developers with problem solving and push them towards strategies that work well in the scheme of the project as a whole.

Having used WordPress since 2007 (and developed for it since 2010) I have seen a lot of trends come and go.

Image Annotator

Just uploaded a cool plugin that one of my clients let me release publicly, it’s a great little tool for people that want to draw on their images and display them on the front end. Best of all the original image isn’t affected – you get to manage the objects on the image as separate
