Salesforce Commerce Cloud & Shopify Plus Expert. I Connect Your Stack Into One Revenue Engine Your Salesforce and commerce platforms shouldn't operate like separate businesses. When your storefront, CRM, customer data, ERP, fulfillment, and AI systems aren't connected, teams work around disconnected data, customers get inconsistent experiences, and opportunities for growth get missed. That's the problem I solve: For 16+ years, I've built and integrated enterprise commerce systems for brands including Movado, MVMT, Riskified, and Life is Good connecting Salesforce, commerce platforms, customer data, and AI into scalable systems built for growth. I don't just implement platforms. I architect the connections between them. Recent Results: โ–ธ๐Œ๐จ๐ฏ๐š๐๐จ: Built a custom Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud experience with AI-driven product recommendations for luxury buyers โ–ธ๐Œ๐•๐Œ๐“: Implemented AR try-ons to reduce returns and multi-currency checkout to support international growth โ–ธ๐‘๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐ž๐: Built real-time ML fraud scoring to reduce chargebacks and manual review โ–ธ๐‹๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐ข๐ฌ ๐†๐จ๐จ๐: Automated warranty support and referral workflows to reduce support workload and improve customer retention What I Do: โ–ธSalesforce Commerce Cloud: B2C/B2B commerce, SFRA, custom cartridges, integrations, migrations, architecture, and ongoing optimization โ–ธShopify Plus: Enterprise storefronts, custom apps, integrations, checkout, migrations, and commerce automation โ–ธAdobe Commerce / Magento & BigCommerce: Enterprise implementations, extensions, integrations, migrations, and optimization โ–ธSalesforce Customer 360: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, and CPQ โ–ธCommerce Integrations: Connect Salesforce and commerce platforms with CRM, ERP, PIM, OMS, payment, fulfillment, marketing, and customer-service systems through APIs and middleware โ–ธHeadless & Composable Commerce: Modern architectures designed for flexibility, performance, scalability, and multi-channel experiences โ–ธAI-Powered Commerce: Personalization, search, merchandising, predictive analytics, customer-service automation, recommendations, and AI commerce agents โ–ธAI Agent & RAG Solutions: Commerce assistants and business agents connected to your product catalog, customer data, knowledge bases, APIs, and enterprise systems using RAG, LangChain, and CrewAI โ–ธEngineering & Integration: Apex, LWC, SFRA, MuleSoft, APIs, custom Salesforce development, Shopify apps/connectors, and Adobe Commerce extensions Where I Add the Most Value: Iโ€™m particularly useful when you have a complex commerce environment and need someone who can see the entire system, not just one platform. For example: Commerce โ†’ Salesforce โ†’ Customer Data โ†’ AI โ†’ Business Automation Instead of building disconnected solutions, I help architect the data, integrations, workflows, and AI capabilities so they work together as one ecosystem. That can mean: Connecting Salesforce CRM with your storefront and customer data Modernizing or migrating an existing commerce platform Building headless or composable commerce architecture Implementing AI personalization and product recommendations Building RAG-powered commerce or customer-service agents Connecting AI agents to APIs and enterprise systems Automating repetitive commerce and customer-service workflows Integrating ERP, PIM, OMS, fulfillment, payments, and marketing platforms Extending Salesforce, SFCC, Shopify Plus, or Adobe Commerce with custom development Why Clients Bring Me In: โ–ธ 16+ years of enterprise commerce experience: I understand the architecture behind complex commerce ecosystems, not just individual features. โ–ธ I think in systems, not isolated projects: Salesforce, commerce, data, integrations, and AI need to work together. โ–ธI scope before I build: You get a clear technical approach, priorities, and realistic implementation plan before committing to a large project. โ–ธI communicate with both technical and business teams: I can work with CTOs, architects, product teams, marketers, operations, and developers. โ–ธI build for the long term: The goal isn't simply to launch. It's to create an architecture your team can operate, extend, and scale. โ–ธI can own the problem end-to-end: From architecture and integration strategy through implementation, testing, launch, and ongoing optimization. Not Sure What You Actually Need? If you're dealing with a Salesforce, commerce, integration, or AI problem, send me: 1. Your current platform 2. What's not working 3. What you're trying to achieve I'll help you determine whether you need a quick integration, a migration, a new architecture, or a larger AI/automation initiative. No generic pitch. No unnecessary rebuild. Just a clear technical path forward.

People are what interests me most. Behind every good idea, product, brand, and business are people trying to get something real done. I help them name the actual problem โ€” then I build, manage, or streamline whatever it takes to solve it. For two decades I have worked with large companies and hundreds of small businesses the same way: listen first, respect the industry, ship work that holds up. I'm a people-first, authenticity-driven, tenacious work ethic father with heart first. People and planet always over profit, and the profit will flow naturally. What I build Full products, not just pages: Web apps and SaaS โ€” Next.js / React, TypeScript, Supabase, Stripe, admin systems, multi-tenant platforms eCommerce โ€” Shopify custom product builders, WooCommerce, design marketplaces, catalog and listing automation Motion and 3D โ€” Rive, Reallusion / Cartoon Animator, Three.js, procedural animation, Unity, Blender Design โ€” logos, products, apparel, campaigns, and the systems that keep a catalog of work actually usable I do not start with a stack. I start with the people: what they need to accomplish, where the pain really is, and what โ€œdoneโ€ has to look like in their industry. How I work When I need a new medium, I learn it, find the unmet niche, and take it as far as it will go. Rive: learned from scratch, built a full animation portfolio in about two weeks. Reallusion Cartoon Animator: started as weekend 2D cutout and character-rigging work; within a year that catalog was the #1 downloaded asset store on the platform. Diji.Art: I built the marketplace myself so our family of artists could manage and show 15 years of design work, on a database of more than 250,000 customer data points โ€” 45 full days, fully documented, vs. a team, a year, and about $1M the traditional way. I also build for the love of it. Ocean Learners is an educational game platform I am making with my wife, who is an educator โ€” procedural math-based art, animation, and character rigging. YouTube side channels and weekend technical projects keep the craft sharp: software, 3D, video production. If you need someone who can talk to the owner, the designer, and the database โ€” and then ship โ€” we should talk. I'm a master-former developer, turned powerful systems architect with purposeful and professional agentic coding mastery via Cursor IDE and AI LLMs.

What does a Composable Application developer do?

A Composable Application developer builds modular software systems by assembling independent, API-first components into a cohesive application architecture. This role focuses on integrating microservices and cloud resources through configuration rather than monolithic coding practices. You define how distinct business capabilities connect and interact within a MACH (Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless) environment. Your work enables organizations to swap or update specific features without disrupting the entire platform.

  • Design and implement API contracts that govern data exchange and business workflows between independent microservices. You define clear endpoints for CRUD operations and ensure each component communicates via standardized messages or calls. This structure allows different teams to develop features in parallel while maintaining system integrity. Your API designs serve as the binding agreement between disparate services, ensuring predictable behavior during integration.
  • Author YAML configuration files that describe site structures, component integrations, and service dependencies for the composable architecture. You use tools like MACH Composer to coordinate these definitions and generate the necessary infrastructure code. This approach separates business logic from deployment mechanics, allowing you to manage complex environments through declarative settings. Your configurations dictate how components fetch artifacts from source control and apply them to the cloud environment.
  • Orchestrate the provisioning of cloud resources by running pipelines that convert configuration definitions into Terraform code. You deploy MACH-based services and link components to cloud primitives such as databases, storage, and compute instances. This workflow ensures that every environment matches the intended architecture state without manual server setup. You also manage encrypted secrets using tools like SOPS to keep sensitive data secure during the deployment process.
  • Iterate component versions through the lifecycle pipeline to maintain stable deployments and support continuous integration. You test operational readiness by verifying that new modules integrate correctly with existing services before release. This practice minimizes downtime and ensures that updates to one part of the system do not break others. You monitor deployed components to confirm they meet performance standards and adhere to the defined API contracts.

How to hire a Composable Application developer on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your modular architecture needs clearly to attract specialists who build API-first systems. The Job Post Generator powered by Umaโ„ข, Upwork's Mindful AI drafts a precise post after you describe your requirements in a few sentences. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post to start your search.

  • Specify experience with MACH Composer and YAML configuration to manage site and component integration definitions.
  • List required skills in Terraform for generating infrastructure-as-code from your composable architecture models.
  • Detail the need for API design expertise to connect microservices and support business workflows effectively.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for portfolios that demonstrate versioned component implementations and deployed cloud resources. Uma runs instant video interviews and builds shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess technical fit quickly.

  • Verify candidates have authored architecture configuration artifacts that describe complex service integrations.
  • Check for evidence of managing component lifecycle pipelines to keep deployments stable and secure.
  • Confirm experience using SOPS for encryption and decryption of configuration inputs within CI/CD workflows.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss how candidates orchestrate infrastructure provisioning and link components to cloud primitives. Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages to receive an immediate transcript and summary after each session.

  • Ask how they fetch component artifacts from source control and apply them to your cloud environment.
  • Explore their approach to testing operational readiness for component-based system behavior under load.
  • Review their method for iterating component versions without disrupting active business workflows.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for delivering API endpoints and infrastructure-as-code outputs. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Define deliverables such as specific YAML files that map out your MACH-based service topology.
  • Establish criteria for accepting deployed components that meet your defined API contracts.
  • Agree on a process for updating Terraform scripts as your composable application scales.
