I am a Senior Full Stack Developer and Shopify Architect with 5+ years of hands-on experience building, scaling, and optimizing production-ready web applications.

My primary technical expertise is rooted in Shopify and modern JavaScript ecosystems. Across 70+ client projects, I have engineered custom Shopify Liquid themes, headless storefronts with Next.js/React, private applications, and complex third-party ERP/CRM integrations.

Having delivered extensive standard Shopify and full-stack solutions, I am actively aspiring and preparing to work on enterprise Shopify Plus plans.

Beyond code, I take pride in engineering solutions that directly move business needles: achieving 95+ Core Web Vitals, elevating conversion rates, and boosting team velocity by 30%+ through reusable component systems, automation, and modern developer workflows.
