Core Expertise

End-to-end delivery — from technical discovery and architecture through to launch, optimisation, and long-term support.

Shopify & Shopify Plus

Custom theme development, Liquid templating, Sections Everywhere, app integrations, B2B commerce, multi-market, and subscription platforms.

Custom themes, plugin development, WooCommerce storefronts, headless WordPress, performance optimisation, and migrations.

Technical discovery, system design, project scoping, stack selection, and architecture planning for complex eCommerce initiatives.

API & Third-Party Integrations

ERP, CRM, loyalty, subscription, and payment integrations. Shopify APIs, REST, GraphQL, and webhooks.

Platform Migrations

Replatforming from Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, or custom solutions to Shopify Plus — with zero operational disruption.

Performance & CRO

Core Web Vitals optimisation, Lighthouse audits, A/B testing, conversion funnel analysis, and iterative UX improvements.

How I Work

Every engagement starts with understanding the system — not jumping straight to code.

  1. Discovery

    Requirements mapping, technical audit, and stakeholder alignment. I define scope and surface risk before writing a line of code.

  2. Architecture

    Stack selection, integration design, and delivery planning. The blueprint that prevents surprises — and keeps projects on budget.

  3. Build

    Custom development, third-party integrations, and QA coordination. Clean, maintainable code with clear progress communication throughout.

  4. Launch

    Go-live execution, performance validation, and post-launch support. Handed over properly — not just deployed and abandoned.

Selected Work

Projects across fashion, beauty, lifestyle, wine, and B2B verticals. Client details available on request under NDA.

About

Beyond development, I regularly lead technical discovery, architecture planning, project estimation, code reviews, and client-facing discussions to ensure every project is delivered efficiently and aligned with business goals.

I work with brands directly as well as alongside agencies and development teams as a senior technical resource.

I stay current with emerging tools and technology to deliver faster without cutting corners.

Let's work
