Senior Full Stack Web Developer | Shopify, WordPress & E-Commerce Systems Specialist

Professional Summary

Senior Full Stack Web Developer with 13+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, managing, and continuously optimizing websites, e-commerce systems, and digital platforms for businesses, agencies, and organizations. I have worked across the full project lifecycle from discovery and architecture to launch, maintenance, and long-term performance tuning, with a strong focus on reliability, measurable outcomes, and clean technical execution.

Strong background in Shopify, WordPress, WooCommerce, CMS architecture, front-end development, API integrations, automation workflows, and large-scale product and content operations. I regularly build systems that reduce manual workload, improve catalog and publishing consistency, and support cross-team collaboration between marketing, operations, and development while keeping technical debt controlled.

Hands-on in Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, API-first architecture, authentication flows, database-backed systems, and scalable deployment workflows for production environments. I prioritize maintainable code structure, secure implementation patterns, and practical delivery discipline so platforms remain fast, adaptable, and easier to extend as business needs evolve over time.
