Dinesh Durai, Moodle & Totara Developer
Hello, I'm Dinesh Durai. I'm a Moodle & Totara developer based in Chennai with 10+ years of experience. I enjoy working on LMS sites & apps. My focus is EdTech.
About me
After graduating from CIT in Communication Engineering, I joined Technoturf Info Services to pursue my passion for programming. I have worked on Moodle and Totara LMS platforms for various clients like Capgemini, Accenture, CTS and others. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is Moodle, Totara, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, React and Zoho CRM. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently working as a Senior PHP Developer at ILEARNME LLP, leading a team that builds multi-tenant LMS platforms.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy doing Organic Farming and cooking and playing badminton. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning React and Next.js.
