Hi there!
I'm a Senior Frontend Engineer with 5 years of experience building fast, responsive, production-ready web apps with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vue.js, and Nuxt.js. I freelance as a Top Rated developer on Upwork with a decent job success track record, and my work spans fintech, e-commerce, edtech, healthcare, real estate, and early-stage SaaS startups.
I care about clean, maintainable code and long-term ownership, not just shipping a feature and moving on. If you're looking for a developer who can join a codebase, understand the architecture, and stay for the long haul, that's how I like to work.

I am a Senior Software Developer with over 8 years of industry experience, focused on building scalable, high-quality web applications that deliver real business value. I specialize in modern frontend development and take full ownership of problems from discovery through delivery, consistently producing solutions that balance performance, usability, and long-term maintainability.
I bring more than 5 years of hands-on experience with Bubble, alongside extensive work with CMS and commerce platforms including Shopify, WordPress, Sitecore, Contentful, and Strapi. My Shopify work includes custom theme development, storefront optimization, conversion rate improvements, and third-party integrations. I also have strong experience with Base44 and no-code tools, using them to rapidly prototype and ship production-ready SaaS systems.
In addition, I actively build with AI-driven tools and workflows, including OpenAI integrations, automation pipelines, and AI-powered platforms such as Lovable, Replit, and Base44, always applied to real, revenue-generating use cases rather than experiments.
My project experience spans e-commerce redesigns, interactive data visualization dashboards, single-page applications, payment gateway integrations, subscription management systems, Saas platforms, MVP building and scalable AI-enabled platforms.

Most Shopify store owners don't fail because they lack products. They fail because their store was built wrong from the start- slow pages, weak product pages, no mobile optimization, and a theme that screams "template" instead of "brand." By the time they realize the conversions aren't coming, they've already burned money on ads sending traffic to a broken foundation.That's the part nobody warns you about when you start a dropshipping store.
There's a better way to do this. A properly built Shopify dropshipping store isn't just a collection of products thrown onto a theme-it's a system. Every section, every button, every product page is engineered with one goal: turning visitors into buyers. When the foundation is right, everything else- the ads, the traffic, the email flows-actually works.That's exactly what I build.
I specialize in Shopify dropshipping end-to-end, from the first pixel of your ecommerce store to the final checkout optimization that protects your conversions. As a Shopify developer I've helped clients launch, rebuild, and scale their dropshipping store using strategies grounded in real buyer psychology-not guesswork.
Whether you need a clean Shopify store setup from scratch, a full store redesign to fix what's bleeding conversions, or a Shopify expert to troubleshoot and tighten up your existing build, I handle the technical execution so you can focus on growth.
My product listing and product upload process goes beyond just adding items to a catalog. I write conversion-focused descriptions, set up variants cleanly, optimize for Shopify SEO, and structure collections in a way that guides customers toward purchase. Every product page I build is built to sell-with trust badges, mobile optimization, clear CTAs, and high-converting layouts that reduce bounce and push add-to-cart rates up.
I've worked with AliExpress and CJ Dropshipping integrations, DSers automation, Spocket, and AutoDS, so your order fulfillment runs without constant manual intervention. For clients scaling into paid traffic, I set up Klaviyo email marketing flows-welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase-so no lead goes cold after leaving your store.
I also handle Shopify theme customization using native Shopify tools, GemPages, and PageFly, and build with clean HTML, CSS, and Liquid when custom functionality is needed.
💡 SERVICES I OFFER:
Full Shopify dropshipping store setup (general & niche stores)
Shopify store redesign and conversion optimization
Product listing, bulk product upload, and catalog organization
Shopify theme customization (Dawn, Horizon, Prestige, Kalles & more)
AliExpress / CJ Dropshipping / DSers / AutoDS integration
Shopify SEO (on-page: titles, descriptions, alt text, collections)
Klaviyo email marketing setup and automated flows
Mobile optimization and page speed improvement
Landing page and advertorial page builds (GemPages / PageFly)
App integration (reviews, upsells, bundles, subscriptions, print on demand)
Shopify store audit and growth strategy review
🔥 WHAT I DELIVER:
Every project I take on has a clear outcome attached to it. Not "I'll set up your store" — but "your store will load fast, convert on mobile, and be ready for paid traffic by the deadline." I approach each Shopify developer engagement as a business problem first, and a technical task second.
Clients typically see measurable improvements in add-to-cart rates, checkout completion, and mobile session quality within the first two weeks after a proper store setup or redesign.
🏪 WHO I WORK WITH:
🛍 New dropshippers launching their first Shopify store
📦 Existing store owners struggling with low conversions
👗 Fashion, beauty, home décor, and lifestyle brands
💊 Supplement and wellness ecommerce brands
🖨 Print-on-demand store builders
📈 Scaling stores moving to Shopify Plus or multi-channel
🧠 WHY CLIENTS KEEP COMING BACK:
I don't disappear after delivery. I document what I build, explain what was done and why, and hand over a store you can actually manage. My communication is clear, my timelines are honest, and I flag issues before they become problems. I treat your dropshipping store like it's my own — because a store that performs well is the only outcome that makes this work worth doing.
Send me a message and let's discuss your project — or invite me to your job and let's get started.

"You hire me when you need a Claude agent or LLM pipeline that survives production, not a demo that breaks on the second input."
The software engineering world has shifted. Building apps and automations with AI is incredibly fast, but shipping reliable, enterprise-grade systems still requires disciplined software engineering. Most "vibe-coded" apps look polished on day one but fall apart on day two due to leaking database policies, broken auth flows, or dropped Stripe payments.
I specialize in bridging the gap between rapid AI code generation and production-grade software architecture. I act as the senior engineering layer, configuring, reviewing, and verifying Claude's actions as it operates natively in your codebase.
Q: Why does your Claude Desktop MCP connection fail?
Connection drops usually stem from syntax issues in your claude_desktop_config.json or misconfigured local runtimes. I audit your local adapter bridges, configure correct transport handshakes, and resolve native WordPress or database authentication blockers.
Q: How do you secure a rapidly built Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor prototype?
AI-generated MVPs often leak sensitive backend data. I secure your Supabase database by writing strict Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, establishing secure JWT handshakes, and configuring Stripe webhook payment verification.
Q: Is it safe to run autonomous agents like Claude Code CLI natively?
No, granting autonomous agents unchecked write-access to your native host machine is a massive risk. I deploy and run Claude Code inside isolated, ephemeral Docker sandboxes to guarantee your live production environments remain untouched.
Q: How do we stop Claude Code from over-engineering your codebase?
Without strict constraints, AI models over-complicate tasks and burn through costly context windows. I build a structured CLAUDE.md constitution that enforces your exact project rules.
