What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build Shopify Plus and headless storefronts that improve performance, conversion, and retention—working closely with creative and technical teams to ship fast, scalable e-commerce experiences.

I’m a results-driven Shopify Developer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building high-performance e-commerce solutions for fashion, lifestyle, and beauty brands. I bring deep expertise across the full Shopify ecosystem—from custom theme development in Liquid and Hydrogen to complex Shopify Plus integrations and headless commerce architectures.

I lead end-to-end delivery of Shopify Plus projects, including scoping, architecture, QA, and launch. I’ve built fully headless storefronts using Shopify Hydrogen + React, improving Lighthouse performance scores by an average of 35 points, and I’ve developed checkout extensions and post-purchase upsell flows that increased average order value by 18% across key accounts.

I also focus on conversion, speed, and scalability—leveraging Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse optimisation, A/B testing, and CRO to reduce load times and scale stores to seven-figure revenues. Alongside my technical work, I mentor junior developers and guide teams to uphold best practices while integrating tools like Klaviyo, Recharge, Yotpo, and Algolia for stronger retention.
