Senior full stack developer with 4+ years building e-commerce systems that make money, not just pages that ship. I work at the intersection of Shopify engineering, conversion optimization, and AI enabled development, and I am usually brought in when a store has outgrown its theme, its data, or its team's capacity. Shopify, from Liquid to headless. I build and refactor Shopify themes (Liquid, Online Store 2.0, metafields and metaobjects), custom apps against the Admin and Storefront GraphQL APIs, checkout extensibility, and headless storefronts on Hydrogen and Next.js. I have migrated stores from Magento and custom PHP platforms onto Shopify Plus without losing SEO equity or order history. I know where Shopify's limits actually are, and when the right answer is a native feature instead of six weeks of custom code. CRO and analytics architecture. Redesigns without measurement are guesses. I set up the full loop: GA4 with a clean event taxonomy, server side tagging through GTM, enhanced e-commerce tracking that survives checkout, and A/B testing infrastructure that produces decisions instead of dashboards. Recent work includes an experimentation program that lifted checkout conversion 18 percent and a data layer rebuild that finally reconciled ad platform numbers with actual Shopify revenue. AI integration that survives production. I build LLM features with the OpenAI and Anthropic Claude APIs, LangChain, and RAG pipelines including GraphRAG over product catalogs and support content. That means product discovery assistants, automated merchandising copy with human review workflows, and support deflection bots grounded in real store data. I care about evals, cost per request, and failure modes, because a demo and a production AI feature are different projects. Performance as a feature. Core Web Vitals work that moves rankings and conversion together: render blocking cleanup, image pipelines, third party script audits, and edge caching. I have taken themes from failing CWV to green across the board. Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Laravel, PHP, React Native, GraphQL, REST, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Firebase, Docker, AWS, Vercel. Comfortable owning Figma to production end to end. I write code other developers can maintain, I document decisions, and I communicate in plain language about tradeoffs and timelines. If you need someone who can architect the system, build it, measure it, and iterate on the numbers, let's talk.

I build custom Shopify stores that load fast, look premium, and turn visitors into buyers, backed by a real software engineering background, not just theme presets. Over 50 completed Shopify projects, every one with positive client feedback. Most Shopify "designers" can swap a theme and change colors. I'm a fullstack engineer who works at the code level, custom Liquid sections, performance optimization, and the technical depth to build features that off-the-shelf apps can't. That's the difference between a store that looks nice and one that actually performs under real traffic. What I do: • Custom Shopify theme development — Horizon, Dawn, and premium themes, professionally customized to your brand • Custom Liquid sections and advanced features built from scratch (no bloated apps slowing you down) • Mobile-first, conversion-focused design built around buyer psychology • Shopify speed optimization — faster load times that protect your conversion rate and SEO • Store redesigns that lift conversions, not just appearances • Full store builds from scratch, including payments, shipping, and launch How I work: I treat every build like an engineering project. I work on a duplicated, unpublished dev theme (never your live store), commit each verified change to Git, and hand back clean, documented work. You get clear communication, fast responses, and a developer who explains the "why," not just the "what." Recent work includes custom Horizon-theme builds for retail and services brands, Liquid-based delivery scheduling and build-a-box systems, and mobile performance fixes for stores losing sales on phones. I work best with: • Brands wanting a custom, premium store built right the first time • Existing stores that look fine but aren't converting or are loading slowly • Founders who want a developer who understands business outcomes, not just pixels If you want a Shopify store that's fast, custom, and built to sell, send me a message with your store link or idea, your main goal (sales, speed, redesign, custom feature), and any references you like. I'll tell you honestly what it needs before you commit.
