Moodle Developer in Spain
EU-based senior Moodle developer working remotely with universities, corporate L&D teams and EdTech vendors across Europe. CET working hours, English-fluent communication, EUR invoicing.
Five years of Moodle, two of them at Moodle HQ. I know the core internals: APIs, release cycles, plugin policy, security model and compatibility.
Typical engagements: technical audits, custom plugins, version upgrades (3.x → 4.x → 5.x), CRM/ERP integrations, WCAG accessibility work, performance tuning and ongoing support.
I publish plugins to moodle.org when the client authorises and the scope is generic. Otherwise it stays on private repos under your ownership.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom Moodle plugin cost?
Custom plugins start at €500. The final price depends on scope: number of screens, external API integrations, automated test requirements and the maintenance policy you want. You get a fixed-fee proposal within 24 hours of a brief or discovery call.
Do you work with Moodle 4 and Moodle 5?
Yes. I keep plugins compatible with both branches and plan migrations from 3.x to 4.x and from 4.x to 5.x. Audit-only migration reports are available if you just need the report.
Can you audit my Moodle and only deliver the report?
Yes. Audit-only engagements cover performance, security, plugins, accessibility, GDPR and a clear improvement plan, with no obligation to hire the implementation.
Do you work with clients outside Spain?
Yes. I invoice in EUR and USD, sign international contracts and work CET / GMT hours. I have shipped projects with clients in Colombia, Mexico, the United States and across the EU.
Will you sign an NDA?
By default yes. I can sign your standard NDA or supply a GDPR / LOPDGDD-compliant template.
Do you publish my plugin on moodle.org?
Only if you authorise it and the scope is generic (not specific to your organisation). When we do, it is explicit in the contract and you keep all brand and configuration rights.
How do you handle WCAG accessibility?
Every new plugin ships with a WCAG 2.1 level AA checklist covered: contrast, keyboard navigation, visible focus, alt text, HTML semantics, screen-reader compatibility and prefers-reduced-motion support.
Do you build custom CRMs or only configure existing ones?
Both. I build complete CRMs on Laravel when the sales process does not fit an off-the-shelf tool — your own funnel, versioned quotes, staged payments, invoicing and dashboards — and I also configure, automate and maintain market CRMs such as Zoho CRM. Before any code is written I tell you straight which of the two routes pays off for you.
Can you administer the CRM I already have?
Yes. Full administration: modules and fields, roles and fine-grained permissions, email templates, sales targets, automations and workflows (in Zoho CRM, with Deluge), integrations with your ERP, your Moodle or your payment gateway, and data migration with deduplication if you are coming from another system.
How much does a custom CRM cost, and how long does it take?
It depends on the real scope, which is why I never quote a number before your sales process has been mapped. What is fixed is the method: a short scope document you approve before any code is written, a fixed fee per functional block, and deliveries you can use from month one instead of waiting months for a big launch. No per-user licences: you pay for the build, not a fee that grows with your team.
Who owns the CRM code and the data?
You do. The code lives in your repository, the data on your server or the hosting you choose, and you get documentation and credentials so another team could take over if you ever decide to. No lock-in, no proprietary licences, no minimum term — exactly the same criterion I apply with Moodle.
Do you handle hosting and installation too?
Yes, if you want. I install and configure Moodle or your application on your server, in the cloud or in Docker, with HTTPS, automated backups, cron, queues and a sensible firewall. I can also just hand over the deployment documentation so your team or your provider sets it up. What I do not do is resell you hosting: you contract it directly and the credentials are yours.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance or only fixed projects?
Both. Some engagements are fixed-fee with a delivery date; others are a monthly block of hours covering version upgrades, security patches, incidents and small improvements. When I hand a project over I tell you straight whether it genuinely needs maintenance or whether it can sit quietly for a few months.
Do you work with SCORM, H5P and xAPI?
Yes. Moodle supports SCORM 1.2/2004, H5P (in core since 3.9) and xAPI out of the box, and I work with all three: importing existing packages, diagnosing content that fails to report grades or completion properly, building interactive content with H5P, and sending xAPI statements to an external LRS when you need analytics beyond Moodle.
