Summary

I'm a Senior Shopify Developer with 5 years of experience building and improving online stores. I specialize in customizing themes, developing responsive storefronts, and connecting Shopify with third-party apps and tools. I work daily with Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and modern frameworks to create clean, reliable solutions. Over the years, I've helped businesses improve site performance, streamline the shopping experience, and increase sales. I enjoy working closely with teams across design, marketing, and product to turn ideas into stores that actually deliver results.
