Open to senior & lead roles / Los Angeles or remote

I build on Shopify Plus for high-traffic, high-revenue brands.

Senior Web Developer, eight years in. I build and maintain three DTC storefronts end to end for growing and established brands, plus the lifecycle, SEO, data, and AI systems underneath them. I write the Liquid and the checkout logic myself, and the internal tools the rest of the team relies on. Equally at home leading development, running ecommerce, or building AI into internal workflows.
