I’m a solo WordPress and Shopify developer who helps businesses fix what’s broken, build what’s needed, and move forward without chaos or surprise costs.
A lot of clients come to me after struggling with unclear scopes, half-finished sites, or fixes that didn’t stick. My approach is simple: start with a clearly defined first task, stabilize what matters, and only expand scope once everything is understood and agreed on.
What I typically help with:
• WordPress and WooCommerce fixes, cleanup, and completion work
• Shopify theme customization, bug fixes, and store stabilization
• Small, well-scoped builds or rebuilds
• Performance, layout, and plugin/app conflicts
• Ongoing support after an initial task is complete
For larger projects, I prefer to start with a short Phase 1 (audit, cleanup, or setup) so there are no surprises. For smaller issues, I’m happy to help with a focused introductory task to get things moving quickly.
I work directly with clients (not an agency), communicate clearly, and respect scope boundaries. If you’re looking for someone dependable who finishes what they start and explains what’s happening along the way, I’m happy to help.

I am tech startup founder and expert in sales/marketing operations, product development, UX, and managing the customer experience. I can improve user experience by designing wireframes and prototypes with the goal of delivering the right solution. I can also help you maximize business revenue by enabling your sales & marketing teams to improve processes with systems for prospecting, reporting, and deal management.
--- Sales & Marketing Operations.
I'm good at helping small to medium size companies optimize their sales and marketing tools. For over 10 years I have used HubSpot. I was an early customer of theirs and I've done everything you can imagine to make the tool work for my other company. I am HubSpot Marketing and Sales certified and I have a knack for all things sales/marketing ops. In addition to creating sales and marketing dashboards with custom reports, I have most recently used Pendo, Zapier, and HubSpot to create HubSpot Workflows that automatically create Tasks, notifications, and Deals for users that have engaged with our software in particular modules. I have built email templates, managed custom imports, performed data cleanup, built sequences, and defined personas, funnels and custom fields.
--- CX/UX & Product
My passion for customer experience and UX has has also driven me to implement user centered design (UCD) concepts like UX research, prototyping, and extensive usability testing. Using Figma, Sketch or Axure, I can build clickable prototypes and help software companies validate their ideas and test for usability. This greatly reduces the chance you will ship something customer don't love or can't use. Backing up a bit into the UCD process I've also performed research through in-depth user interviews to help inform business objectives. Qualitative research is always more time-consuming than quantitive (like surveys) but I find it help you understand the customer better and uncover unmet needs in the process.
--- Why work with me?
Experience and range. I will not only dig in and to the work, but you'll get my 15+ years of start up experience. If there's a mistake to be made in building software, I've done it. My mistakes are an advantage you'll have with me by your side.
