Top Rated Shopify developer with 100% Job Success and 15+ years building e-commerce solutions and custom applications. I deliver unusually fast, most scoped projects ship in 24-48 hours, because I run a full AI-augmented development operation: AI agents build and test alongside me (Claude, OpenAI, MCP servers), and nothing ships until I've personally verified it. Senior judgment at AI-era speed. What I do: Custom Shopify apps, public and private, including checkout and POS extensions Theme development and customization, Online Store 2.0 and Liquid B2B and wholesale: custom pricing engines, quote flows, trade catalogs API integrations: suppliers, fulfillment, inventory, payment gateways AI features and automation for merchants: agentic workflows, chatbots, MCP integrations Performance, CRO, and technical SEO Beyond Shopify: React and React Native apps for web and mobile, Electron desktop applications, and WordPress/WooCommerce when the job calls for it. I manage 30+ Shopify stores day to day and have my own apps live on the Shopify App Store, so I build like an owner: clean, documented, and maintainable after I'm gone. I handle everything from initial design through deployment and communicate clearly the whole way. For marketing and design agencies: I white-label. Your brand, your client, my build, fast and quiet. Fixed-price preferred on scoped work so you know the number up front. Whether it's a quick fix, a complete custom application, or AI built into your existing workflows, let's talk.

I'm a full-stack developer with 20+ years of experience building web apps, SaaS platforms, APIs, and more. I take a project from idea to launch, and I'm here to maintain the work onward — requirements, estimate, build, go-live, and ongoing support. This is my full-time work, not a side project — I'm usually available 7AM–7PM Mountain Time daily, and can dedicate up to ~30 hours a week to your project, more when a timeline calls for it. Core skills: React · Next.js · Node · TypeScript · C# / .NET Core · PostgreSQL · SQL Server · MySQL · Capacitor (cross-platform mobile) · Electron (cross-platform desktop) · Stripe · REST API integrations · PayloadCMS · machine-learning integration I build modern apps with React and Node — web apps, SaaS platforms, APIs, and integrations. I also build cross-platform mobile apps that ship to iOS and Android from a single codebase — faster to build and cheaper to maintain than two separate native apps. And similarly, cross-platform desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux. I bring two decades of Microsoft stack experience, making me comfortable across different stacks and problem spaces. A few things that set my work apart: • End-to-end ownership. Requirements, estimates, prototyping, provisioning, launch, and maintenance — one accountable owner across every stage, so nothing falls through the cracks. • A running start. I bring proven foundations I already run in production — sign-in, registration, password reset, user management — and fold them in at no cost for new projects, so your budget goes to what's unique to your product and we reach something live and demonstrable fast. • Machine-learning integration. I put data-science models into real applications, including models that run locally so your proprietary data never leaves your environment and there's no per-prediction cost. • An adaptable problem-solver. Twenty years across many stacks and domains means I pick up unfamiliar tools and codebases quickly — and I'm upfront about what I haven't done rather than overselling. • AI-assisted development. I use Claude Code with a custom set of guidance I've built for planning, building, testing, and review — it makes me faster and more thorough. • You work directly with me. The person you talk to is the person writing the code. How I work: we start with a conversation, and I capture your requirements and raise the questions that matter. Once scope is clear, I send an itemized estimate — larger builds broken into phases so cost and progress stay visible. From there I develop, provision, launch, and support the app. Anything that would change the budget gets raised before the time is spent — never a surprise on an invoice. I often suggest starting with smaller milestones — enough to get comfortable working together and see real results fast — then expanding from there. My rates are fair, typically below market, because I'd rather make a worthwhile project work than price myself out of it. Whatever you're trying to build or solve, send me a message and let's talk.

My specialty is integrating across various Computer Aided Engineering (CAD, CFD) software platforms. I am also an expert at automating CAD modeling jobs using parametric design and APIs. In addition to numerous desktop software programs I also created Unity3D VR and AR Android mobile apps and educational demos. You can rest assured that I can understand and scope your issues as I have fifteen years of experience developing Engineering software for the Architectural, Mechanical and Aerospace industries. My education includes advanced degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Computational Fluid Dynamics. I started programming when I was twelve and by the time I was sixteen I was building file manager applications, database management tools and 3D games under MSDOS - yeah, I'm dating myself here :) I am also very skilled at creating powerful macro-enabled spreadsheets in Excel using VBA. I've also developed solutions integrating Excel with MySQL databases and PHP backends, and with desktop applications. If you need help with software dealing with CAD, BIM, Simulation or Business Intelligence, I can save your company time and money! Services overview: -Automation: Saving man hours (spent on repetitive tasks) through intelligent scripts, custom software and parametric CAD models. -Interoperability: Converting CAD models to Analysis models. Custom translators and plugins. Linking BIM models to web APIs and databases. -Simulation: Computational modeling of physical phenomena. -Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) in the Cloud: Distributed computing using AWS and HPC. Web / VR/ AR interfaces for your CAE software. -Project Management Solutions: Small business project management software creation and deployment. Microsoft Office document customization.

I help founders and teams turn AI ideas into real, usable products — not just demos. I build AI-powered web apps, SaaS MVPs, internal tools, RAG systems, automation workflows, and LLM integrations using OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, FastAPI, Node, Next, React, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Pinecone, pgvector, n8n, Make, Zapier, and Stripe. Most AI projects fail because they stop at a simple chatbot or API call. A real AI product needs clean architecture, reliable workflows, structured outputs, user management, database design, prompt control, error handling, logging, human review, and integration with the business process. That is where I can help. What I can build: ✅ AI SaaS MVPs ✅ OpenAI / Claude / Gemini integrations ✅ RAG apps and document-based AI assistants ✅ AI agents and multi-step workflows ✅ Custom chatbot backends ✅ AI dashboards and internal tools ✅ Prompt engineering and structured outputs ✅ Vector database integrations: Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate ✅ FastAPI / Node backend development ✅ Next / React frontend development ✅ Supabase / PostgreSQL database setup ✅ CRM, payment, email, and third-party API integrations ✅ n8n, Make, Zapier workflow automation ✅ Stripe billing and subscription flows My approach is simple: first I understand the product goal, users, data sources, and workflow. Then I design the AI system around real use cases — clean inputs, predictable outputs, scalable APIs, secure data flow, and maintainable code. Whether you need an AI MVP, RAG chatbot, internal AI assistant, workflow automation platform, AI content tool, CRM automation, or LLM-powered SaaS product, I can help you build it properly from idea to launch. If you need someone who understands both AI implementation and real product development, I would be happy to help.
