What I'm looking for

I seek senior e‑commerce roles building scalable Shopify/headless storefronts, improving CRO/SEO, and automating workflows at growth-focused teams.

I am a Senior E‑commerce CMS developer with 8+ years delivering Shopify, Shopify Plus, WooCommerce and headless commerce solutions that drive measurable growth. I lead complex migrations, theme and app customizations, integrations, and SEO/CRO strategies for D2C launches, international expansion and loyalty/subscription programs.

I combine frontend and backend expertise—React, Next.js, Liquid, PHP, Python—with automation tools like Zapier and Make.com to streamline operations and boost conversions. My projects have produced tangible results including large sign-ups, order growth, improved page speed/core web vitals, and sustained conversion uplifts for brands across retail and cultural sectors.
