Trusted by large German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช brands like Marc Gebauer Lifestyle GmbH among others. Hello! Native English speaker here with tons of experience working mostly with large brands & agencies in Germany. I've built numerous apps and other custom solutions for internal business processes, including the development of Shopify functions and Checkout/Admin UI Extensions. I can also help you build a custom storefront with Shopify's Hydrogen. ๐Ÿค” Why choose me? ------------------------- โœ… Where appropriate, I act as a consulting partner instead of just a temporary hire; if I see a better way of doing something, I'll suggest it even if it reduces my total billable hours! โœ… I've been dead set on maintaining a "Shopify-exclusive" portfolio for the entirety of my working career; I'm not a random developer who "knows a little bit of Shopify" to think they can make a quick buck. ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ’ป What I can do for you --------------------------- ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ“ฆ Shopify App Development: - As of writing, I have built over 40 different Shopify apps, each serving a unique purpose for the relevant business requirement. - Most of the apps I've built are embedded, private apps that integrate within the Shopify Admin UI and solve some internal or customer-facing problem. ๐Ÿงฐโš™๏ธ Shopify APIs: - Through my expertise with Shopify's Admin & Storefront APIs, I've enabled seamless migratations from other e-commerce platforms like Typo3. - I've also solved numerous niche problems that didn't require nor warrant building an entire app (mostly one-off automation-related problems). - Liquid is also considered an API and comes into play with App Proxies and TTFB optimizations. โ“ FAQ ---------------------------------------------------------- ๐Ÿ‡ถ Are you an agency? ๐Ÿ‡ฆ No, but I have worked with agencies like Niccos Media. ๐Ÿ‡ถ Do you offer design services? What about CRO/SEO/marketing? ๐Ÿ‡ฆ My services are exclusively limited to back-end and front-end development within the Shopify platform. ~ Bashar A. ------------ ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค–๐Ÿค– Abandon hope all ye who enter here...
