Moe Loubani Software Developer / Development Consultant

About Me

I'm a software developer from Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. I've been writing software (mainly in the web space)and adding functionality to websites for over 10 years. I'm a full stack developer that has worked with all sorts of different technologies and services: Javascript (React, Vue, jQuery), PHP (WordPress and Laravel), SES, S3, ECS, Cloudsearch from AWS, Azure, Docker, Git and SVN for revision control, Terraform, Datadog, Okta, a whole bunch of APIs and 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.

Recruitment

Through an interesting turn of events I’ve found that I have a knack for finding talent that both knows what they’re doing and fits in with the culture of the places I place them. Want to know more? Check out one of my side businesses Cantal a company that connects Canadian talent with US companies.
