What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build and scale high-performance SaaS or eCommerce platforms, lead backend and integration work, mentor engineers, and solve complex payments, Shopify, and platform reliability challenges.

At ShipTurtle, I build and scale the backend and Shopify app ecosystem for a SaaS platform serving 3,000+ connected stores and processing approximately 2 lakh daily orders. I lead and mentor a team of eight developers while coordinating 8–12 parallel features and projects.

I've built subscription billing, payment integrations, and commission and payout infrastructure using PHP, Laravel, MySQL, Redis, REST APIs, webhooks, queues, and Shopify APIs. I focus on stable, high-performance systems, from optimizing slow APIs and caching to reviewing code, managing technical risks, and improving engineering quality.
