I build and rebuild eCommerce systems end-to-end: storefront, backend, and the integrations that hold everything together. โ๏ธ
25+ years in IT, 15+ in hands-on full-stack engineering. I work across the whole stack:
โ Storefronts: Magento 2, Shopify, Sylius/Symfony, headless commerce on React & Next.js
โ Backend: PHP (Symfony, Laravel), Node.js, Python - PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis
โ Integrations: payment gateways (Stripe, Adyen, PayPal), ERP/CRM/PIM (SAP, Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive)
โ Infra & design: REST & GraphQL, microservices, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, AWS & GCP
Recent work: migrated a live, revenue-generating store between platforms with zero downtime - staged cutovers, parallel traffic paths, rollback at every stage, checkout continuity and SEO protected throughout. I also optimize storefront performance (Core Web Vitals, caching, load testing) on stores carrying real traffic. ๐
As CTO at Lazy Ants, I lead 30-40 engineers, architects and leads building production eCommerce, fintech and AI systems - so larger scope comes with a full engineering team behind it, not just my availability.
Selected results:
โ Live, revenue-generating store replatformed with zero downtime
โ Payment infrastructure running in production 5+ years with real merchants
โ Financial-account migration under live user balances with zero loss of funds
โ AI-assisted pipeline cut manual supplier data prep by up to 75%
Open to long-term engagements: replatforming, ERP/PIM integrations, storefront performance, or ongoing store support.
I work in structured phases with written acceptance criteria - you know what you're getting before the invoice arrives. ๐

Shopify Developer | Themes, Apps, CRO, SEO, AI & Automation
Odesa, Ukraine
$15/hr$15 per hour5.0 (2) 3 jobs $400+ total earnings
I help Shopify stores with development, content, SEO and automation - from custom Liquid/theme functionality and Shopify APIs to product catalog work, image improvements and AI-assisted workflows.
Most of my work is on live Shopify stores, where changes need to fit the existing theme, remain manageable for the merchant and work reliably without breaking other storefront functionality.
โ Shopify theme development and customization
โ Custom Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS and reusable theme sections
โ Product pages, collection pages, carts and custom buying flows
โ Complex variants, product options, bundles and custom product logic
โ Metafields, metaobjects and dynamic storefront content
โ Shopify Markets, localization and multilingual storefronts
โ CRO, technical SEO, structured data and performance improvements
โ Figma-to-Shopify implementation and responsive frontend work
I also work beyond theme development:
โ Small custom Shopify apps for individual stores
โ Shopify Admin API and GraphQL integrations
โ External AI-service integrations, including Claude via API
โ Python + Excel/CSV + Matrixify workflows for catalog migration and bulk operations
โ Product titles, descriptions, media, metafields and metaobjects in Shopify Admin
โ Catalog cleanup, content updates and structured product data
โ AI-assisted product image enhancement while preserving the original product
โ Product infographics created with Figma, Photoshop and AI tools
Over the past 2+ years, Iโve worked on production Shopify stores across development, store maintenance, localization, catalog operations, SEO, performance and integrations.
Iโm comfortable joining an existing codebase or store workflow, understanding how it is already built and improving it without unnecessary rebuilding or complexity.
If your Shopify task sits somewhere between development, store operations, content and automation, send me the details. I can help find a practical way to implement it.
