Curv Group — Multi-brand DTC Portfolio

Shopify Developer / Web Developer

September 2023 – present · Buenos Aires, Argentina (remote)

Sole developer across six live Shopify storefronts — developed and shipped a major flagship-brand redesign, delivering a complete PDP overhaul and a reusable component library that streamlined subsequent page builds.
Engineered quantity-tier (volume) pricing on storefronts whose plan lacked native support — using a variant-based front-end technique to deliver tiered pricing with no third-party app required.
Built internal tooling using the Shopify Admin GraphQL API: a product data export feeding B2B content workflows and a store health dashboard flagging inventory and bundle status issues; used the Shopify AI Toolkit (Dev MCP) to write and validate queries against live schemas.
Owned Git/CI-CD pipelines across a multi-developer environment — managed branch strategy, freelancer theme merges, and production deployments, maintaining stability throughout.
Onboarded three freelancers onto the codebase and trained a content manager to work independently with custom Sections, reducing development bottlenecks for routine updates.

Capabilities

Skills

Shopify Platform

5+ years building on Shopify — Liquid theme development, Online Store 2.0, Checkout Extensibility, metafields and metaobjects, and Shopify Plus. Comfortable across the full theme stack — from section and block JSON schema to metafield-driven dynamic content.

APIs, Integrations & Tracking

Fluent in the Shopify Admin GraphQL API — the backbone of the internal dashboards and product-data exports built for the team. Builds and maintains a Zapier pipeline syncing custom storefronts to a Pipedrive CRM, and manages marketing and analytics tracking (Meta, TikTok, Northbeam, AppLovin) end to end. Familiar with ERP order and inventory sync (Fulfil.io), monitoring data flow to prevent outages and unexpected behavior.

Shopify AI Toolkit & Dev MCP

Actively working with the Shopify AI Toolkit and Dev MCP — using AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code) to generate schema-validated GraphQL queries, introspect live APIs, and accelerate storefront development without hallucinating deprecated endpoints.

Front-End Engineering

Proficient in HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, JavaScript (ES6+), and Tailwind CSS. Delivers pixel-perfect, maintainable UIs across complex Shopify themes. Works with Lighthouse and LCP metrics to identify and fix performance bottlenecks — including lazy-loading strategies for video-heavy pages.

Git, CI/CD & Team Workflows

Owns end-to-end Git workflows in multi-developer environments — branching strategy, conflict resolution across freelancer and production themes, and deployment pipelines. Experienced onboarding developers and training non-technical teammates on custom tooling.

AI-Assisted Development

Uses AI tooling (Cursor, IntelliJ AI, Figma MCP, Claude Code) as a force multiplier — not a replacement for judgment. Accelerates iteration cycles, generates boilerplate, and reviews AI output critically before committing to production.
