What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build headless commerce and API-optimized storefronts where I can own technical decisions, improve performance and conversion with data, and collaborate across teams to deliver scalable, secure products in fast-paced environments.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Developer focused on headless commerce, building performant, user-centric web applications with pragmatic problem-solving. I specialize in Shopify Hydrogen storefronts, custom implementations, and integrating complex GraphQL and API-first architectures.

At Texas Label Printers, I architected a Hydrogen + React Router storefront that improved page load times by 40% over legacy solutions. I also optimized Storefront/Admin GraphQL data fetching to reduce latency by 25%, migrated standard themes to a custom headless architecture supporting a 50% increase in concurrent traffic, and improved SEO performance by 15% using SSR.

Previously, I engineered scalable Django/React systems for Maximus and built high-traffic React/TypeScript applications at Google, serving millions globally. I’ve led performance improvements (20–35% faster responses), strengthened CI/CD with tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Spinnaker, and Kubernetes, and mentored teams to boost velocity and quality—always translating ambiguous requirements into high-impact features.
