About

What I do

Shopify developer and front-end engineer with 6 years in ecommerce. I’m the sole developer maintaining a six-storefront multi-brand DTC portfolio, and I work the full extensibility stack — Online Store 2.0 theme architecture, Shopify Functions written in Rust, checkout and post-purchase app extensions, metafields and metaobjects, Markets and multi-currency, and the Admin GraphQL API.

I keep storefronts fast and lean, run the landing-page A/B testing program that feeds pricing decisions, and own the Git/CI-CD pipeline the whole team ships through.

Selected work

Platform extensibility

Commerce rules, written in Rust

Two of our commerce rules run as Shopify Functions: a line-item/cart transform, and a discount function that applies the mini-cart upsell discount.

Experimentation

Landing pages that earn their traffic

I run price, offer and layout A/B tests in Intelligems on the highest-traffic product offers. Results go straight into pricing decisions, and the program has surfaced a profit-per-visitor uplift on the flagship offer.

Internationalization

A third more conversion outside the US

Non-US traffic was converting well below the US rate. I shipped a suite of improvements across the international buying experience — pricing, checkout and shipping. Non-US conversion rose ~33% against its prior baseline and held.

Custom commerce logic

Volume pricing without an app

We needed quantity-tier pricing on storefronts whose plan doesn’t support it natively. Rather than add another third-party app to the stack, I built it with a variant-based front-end technique.
