Senior Ruby on Rails and Shopify full‑stack developer focused on high‑performance eCommerce solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Ruby on Rails and Shopify developer with 8+ years building scalable web applications, custom Shopify themes, and apps that drive conversions and performance.
My background spans backend architecture, modern frontend stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript), and high‑performance eCommerce optimizations using Liquid, Shopify APIs, and metafields.
I have delivered numerous production projects—Rails SaaS platforms, enterprise nopCommerce solutions, 40+ React/Next.js frontends, 30+ Shopify stores, and multiple real‑time casino/betting engines—improving performance, conversion, and operational efficiency.
I value pragmatic engineering, automated CI/CD, strong test coverage, and measurable business impact; I enjoy solving high‑load, realtime problems and enabling non‑technical teams with flexible CMS and storefront tools.
