Hi, I’m Niklas Viola. Fullstack & Shopify Architect. Top Rated on Upwork. I don’t build stores. I build systems that dominate markets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Track record: • Co-founded & scaled a 7-figure brand from zero (Shopify was the tool I was the strategy) • Orchestrated international high-volume projects at a specialized Shopify agency (custom Liquid architectures, headless integrations, compliance nightmares solved systematically) • Generated over €1.2M+ in direct client revenue across 12+ stores • Consistent 5-star ratings. No exceptions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I actually do: Shopify Plus on architectural level scalable systems, not templates. Fullstack precision: React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node clean, performant, future-proof Conversion that wins: psychological funnels, CRO, Meta/TikTok ads played like chess AI edge: custom agents, predictive analytics, automations that replace entire teams while the market is still catching up Clients don’t hire me for pretty code. They hire me when they want unfair advantages. When they want to stop competing and start owning. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you’re still doing things manually in 2026, you’re already losing. If you’re ready to scale without compromise message me. I select projects carefully. Not everyone gets in.

I bring 15+ years of international experience across firmware, hardware, PC-system software, and bespoke applications for embedded systems. I take products end-to-end—from concept and architecture through electronics, firmware, mechanical design, and production. In-house, I handle mid-scale builds (down to 0402 and fine-pitch BGAs) with pick-and-place, reflow, and full validation, source components globally, and coordinate seamlessly with external PCBAs for higher volumes. Instead of juggling multiple suppliers, you get one partner who integrates hardware, software, and mechanics into a cohesive, production-ready solution. If you’re looking to turn an idea into a reliable, manufacturable product, let’s connect.
