What I'm looking for

I'm looking for Shopify Developer, Full-Stack Engineer, or Lead Engineer roles where I can build storefronts and scalable product systems, lead engineering teams, and deliver API-driven features for remote US-based companies or startups.

I've built and customized Shopify stores end-to-end, creating custom Liquid themes, responsive storefronts, and merchandising features tailored to client brands and UX needs.

At CodingCops, I lead a 10-engineer cross-functional team across three product lines. I established code review standards and Agile workflows that moved releases from bi-weekly to weekly and reduced production defects by an estimated 30%.

I architect event-driven microservices with Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Java Spring Boot, AWS, Kafka, and SQS, while connecting Shopify apps and storefronts to internal and third-party services. I've also shipped AI-powered features using OpenAI APIs and Google Dialogflow, reducing manual client data-processing work by an estimated 40%.

Earlier at CodingCops, I delivered 5+ full-stack applications using MERN and Ruby on Rails, integrated Stripe, Twilio, and Bandwidth, and improved high-traffic database query response times by an estimated 35%.
