Summary

As the driving force behind the Liquid theme for Moodle and Totara Learn, I embarked on a transformative journey to streamline and modernize our approach to theme management. Recognizing the hurdles posed by numerous custom themes and their impact on upgrade agility and cloud-based service delivery, I championed the creation of a standardized, adaptable solution.

At the core of this innovation was the shift towards a unified, user-friendly interface that enabled seamless branding configuration without the need for intricate coding or development. This marked a pivotal departure from legacy approaches, significantly reducing the time and financial investment required for new client onboarding. As a Product Owner, I spearheaded the presentation of this groundbreaking concept to our CEO, spotlighting its wide-ranging benefits and aligning it with our strategic vision.

Throughout the product's lifecycle, I led the charge in designing and optimizing a robust framework that accommodates extensive configuration options. In 2014, this visionary initiative solidified its position as a pioneering theme within the Moodle and Totara communities, shaping the landscape of user-centric and highly configurable no-code themes.
