BigCommerce, WordPress, and Shopify developer focused on storefront customization, maintenance, and reliable production support.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I’m a BigCommerce, WordPress, and Shopify developer with extensive experience building, customizing, and maintaining e-commerce storefronts and content-driven websites for US-based clients.
My work is hands-on, delivery-focused, and centered on front-end implementation, platform customization, troubleshooting, and reliable production support.
In recent years, my day-to-day work has focused heavily on BigCommerce theme customization and maintenance using Stencil, Handlebars, Page Builder widgets, and platform features to ship improvements safely in live stores. I also work with BigCommerce GraphQL and REST APIs, troubleshoot front-end and integration-related issues using browser DevTools, and keep changes stable and maintainable across devices, performance, usability, and SEO requirements.
Across platforms, I’ve delivered WordPress projects with custom themes, Custom Post Types, ACF, and Gutenberg-based builds for content and media-rich sites. I bring Shopify theme customization experience using Liquid, sections, and templates, with exposure to Shopify Plus and light checkout customizations via front-end scripting when needed.
I’ve also led and mentored front-end developers, served as a technical point of reference during discovery and early implementation, and worked closely with agencies, designers, project managers, and clients in remote production environments.
