About

I turn complex commerce requirements into scalable Shopify systems.

My work spans solution architecture, technical analysis, project leadership, API and ERP integrations, and enterprise Shopify migrations. I've owned end-to-end delivery across 250+ e-commerce builds and currently lead Shopify Plus initiatives for multiple international brands — translating business goals into technical roadmaps that ship, scale, and pay back.

Leadership

Cross-functional teams of developers, QA, design, and marketing shipping on Agile cadence.

Architecture

Shopify Plus ecosystems designed for scale — apps, middleware, ERP, and multi-market catalogs.

Strategy

Turning business goals into technical roadmaps with measurable commercial outcomes.

Execution

Discovery to launch: scoping, estimation, delivery governance, and zero-downtime rollouts.

Case Studies

Problem, solution, result — the work behind the numbers.

Expand any case study for the full story: what was broken, how it was architected, and what changed for the business.

Problem

A legacy custom Laravel platform held years of orders, customers, and content — slow to change, expensive to maintain, and blocking international growth.

Solution

Architected and led a full migration to Shopify Plus: data modelling and migration, theme rebuild, app rationalisation, redirect strategy, and a phased regional cutover.

Result

Millions of records migrated with reconciliation checks
Zero-downtime cutover across regions
40% faster page loads post-launch
Dramatically simplified day-to-day operations

Problem

Inventory, pricing, and fulfilment lived in disconnected systems, forcing manual reconciliation and causing oversells during peak trading.

Solution

Designed a resilient middleware layer between the control panel, Shopify, and the warehouse — idempotent writes, retry queues, and end-to-end observability.

Result

99.98% sync reliability
70% reduction in manual operations
One source of truth for inventory
Real-time order → warehouse handoff

Problem

Separate regional stores meant duplicated catalogs, inconsistent pricing, and a fragmented customer experience across Europe.

Solution

Consolidated onto Shopify Markets with localized pricing, currencies, domains, tax and compliance settings, plus centralized catalog governance.

Result

10+ European markets launched
Localized checkout and currencies
Single catalog, market-level overrides
Faster launches for each new region

Problem

Off-the-shelf apps couldn't cover bespoke merchandising, subscription, and operations workflows — and every extra app added cost and page weight.

Solution

Built private and embedded Shopify apps on Node and React with Polaris, Admin GraphQL, webhooks, and metafield-driven storefront extensions.

Result

Replaced multiple paid apps with owned tooling
Lower recurring app spend and script bloat
Workflows tailored to the merchandising team
Reusable app framework across brands

Problem

Heavy themes and third-party scripts pushed Core Web Vitals into the red, hurting both organic visibility and conversion on mobile.

Solution

Ran an end-to-end audit of Liquid, assets, and tag manager payloads, then rebuilt critical templates with lazy loading, deferred scripts, and lean sections.

Result

Core Web Vitals moved to green on mobile
Sub-2s LCP on key landing templates
Measurable conversion lift after rollout
A repeatable audit playbook per brand

Experience
