Maura Hubbell

Software Engineer | Front End

The 411

I'm originally from Gainesville, FL, and I arrived at Moz in 2012 via Cornell (B.S. in computer science), the University of Washington (M.S. in same), a couple of startups in the electronic design automation industry, and then Microsoft.

When I'm not working or riding herd on my teenage son, I may be in mad science or riding my bike. My volunteer gig is at Lambert House, the drop-in center for queer youth. I also enjoy bleepy musical techno goodness, or going out dressed Goth to the nines, or both.

What I do at Moz

I write code that does desirable things, hopefully. Current team: Application Frontend. Note that I'm a person with a lot of back end experience on a front end team. Past projects that I've at least touched:

  • Delorean
  • Vanguard/Packrat
  • Barbosa
  • Stampede
  • Listerine
  • Victoria
  • the whole crawl pipeline
    • Crawl Manager
    • Crawl Processor
    • Aardwolf, early in development
  • PDFit
  • Chronkite
  • Tilex
  • On-page/Pagella
  • ancient history:
    • Fresh Web Explorer, the old content index)
    • Just-Discovered Links and Mozscape, the old link indexes
    • Attercob, the previous crawl pipeline
