At DS Technologies, I build custom Shopify apps with the GraphQL and REST Admin APIs, and develop responsive Online Store 2.0 themes from Figma designs. I also extend checkout with custom discounts, validation rules, and upsell logic.

Previously at elo, I led a team of five developers and delivered Shopify apps for inventory management, order merging, reconciliation, sales reports, courier management, and POS integration.
