What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and optimize Shopify Plus storefronts end-to-end—owning performance, CRO, and custom app integrations—while partnering closely with marketing and product to ship measurable conversion improvements.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Web Developer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications, with a focus on Shopify and Shopify Plus development. I craft high-performance, conversion-optimized Shopify themes and custom storefront experiences using Liquid, React JS, and TypeScript.

In my current role as Lead Developer (11/2024–Present) at Prepared Hero, I maintain and optimize a high-volume Shopify Plus storefront for a DTC brand, driving peak performance and a seamless customer experience. I also develop and integrate custom Shopify apps and third-party integrations, and I run funnel and pricing optimization using Funnelish, Checkout Champ, Convert, and Intelligems.

Previously, I led technical execution for international storefront launches at Solawave, supporting A/B testing and CRO initiatives to improve conversion performance. At Noah’s Box, I rebuilt the storefront from the ground up—cutting load times by 30%, implementing a tailored checkout experience, and increasing Starter Kit orders by 45%—while also building integrations that improved Trustpilot ratings by an average of 1.5 stars. I’ve also delivered enterprise Shopify implementations, built a WooCommerce plugin from scratch, and led a team of 6 developers with strong engineering practices and automated testing.
