Umar S.
Moodle Developer & LMS Specialist | Integrations & Infrastructure
6+ years freelancing | 60+ Moodle projects | 200+ total client projects I am a Moodle Developer & LMS Specialist working across the full life-cycle of Moodle platforms, from planning and new implementations to custom development, integrations, upgrades, performance optimization and long-term technical support. My work covers both the learner-facing LMS and the infrastructure behind it. I can help you plan and build a Moodle platform from scratch, troubleshoot an existing production system, extend Moodle with custom functionality, or take ownership of requirements that span servers, plugins, APIs, authentication and external systems. Moodle services I provide: • Moodle consulting & planning — requirements discovery, LMS architecture, hosting recommendations, technical feasibility, implementation roadmaps and platform strategy. • Installation, cloud & production infrastructure — Moodle deployment on AWS, Azure, VPS, dedicated servers and other cloud environments, including Nginx/Apache, PHP-FPM, databases, SSL, cron, backups, SMTP and production configuration. • Custom Moodle development — plugins, local extensions, reports, event observers, scheduled processes, custom workflows and functionality beyond standard Moodle. • Moodle administration & platform configuration — roles, permissions, enrollment methods, authentication, course structures, plugins, scheduled tasks, policies and day-to-day LMS configuration. • SSO, authentication & identity management — Single Sign-On, external identity providers, authentication workflows and user-access integrations. • Themes & learner-facing customization — theme installation and configuration, branding, responsive adjustments, navigation, dashboards, front pages and learner-facing UI improvements. • Integrations & APIs — connecting Moodle with external platforms, business systems and data sources through APIs, webhooks, automated data exchange and custom integration logic. • Virtual classrooms & live learning — integration of video-conferencing and instructor-led training platforms, including live sessions, attendance, recordings and learner-access workflows. • Reporting, analytics & automation — custom reports, learner tracking, progress analytics, automated workflows, scheduled processing, and operational reporting. • Certification & compliance workflows — certificates, completion rules, controlled documents, evidence storage, audit trails and compliance-oriented automation. • Performance optimization & troubleshooting — Redis and cache configuration, PHP/runtime tuning, database and server diagnostics, load testing, debugging and production issue resolution. • Upgrades & migrations — Moodle version upgrades, staging, server moves, environment compatibility, plugin/theme migration, and post-upgrade troubleshooting. • Multilingual LMS implementation — bilingual and multilingual Moodle environments, language configuration, translated interfaces and localization. • Multi-tenant Moodle / IOMAD — organizational separation, tenant architecture, roles, permissions and multi-organization LMS requirements. • Course delivery & learning tools — course configuration, SCORM/H5P, assessments, completion tracking, grading and interactive learning workflows. • Ongoing administration & technical support — maintenance, monitoring, troubleshooting, updates, performance work and long-term technical ownership. What makes my Moodle work different is the range of responsibility I can take on. I am comfortable working inside Moodle itself and at the Linux/server level beneath it, so development, infrastructure, integrations and production troubleshooting do not have to be treated as separate problems. Whether you are still deciding how Moodle should be implemented, need a new production LMS, want custom functionality, or have an existing platform that is not working as it should, send me the requirement and I can help you determine the right technical approach.
