Hire Shopify Developer
7+ Years Building Production Systems | Backend Architecture & Full-Stack Solutions
I build and customize Shopify stores with a focus on performance, usability, and conversion-ready architecture.
Shopify projects I take on: custom theme builds from a Figma design using Dawn as the base (or a fully custom theme from scratch for large merchants), Shopify App development for functionality that no existing app covers, checkout customization with Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensibility for Shopify Plus merchants, and performance audits on existing stores where slow LCP is hurting conversion. I also integrate Klaviyo for email flows, configure subscription products with ReCharge, and build custom metafield schemas that let merchandisers manage structured product data without code.

Shopify Stores That Convert — What Technical Quality Means for Revenue
Every second of load time costs conversions. Every checkout bug costs sales.
LCP over 4 seconds on mobile. Google Page Speed in the red. Every 100ms of additional load time costs you measurable revenue.
Lazy-loaded images with correct srcset, deferred non-critical JavaScript, reduced render-blocking Liquid renders. Target: LCP under 2.5s on mobile 4G.
Discount codes that silently fail. Shipping calculator wrong for certain zip codes. Payment method icons that don't render. Users abandon at checkout and never come back.
Manual checkout testing across Visa, PayPal, Shop Pay, and Apple Pay on iOS and Android. Discount code edge cases covered. Every bug caught on staging before going live.
14 third-party apps each injecting JavaScript. Theme breaks after installing a new app. Nobody knows which app caused it.
App audit — identify what can be replaced with native Shopify features or custom Liquid. Remaining apps tested for JS conflicts before installation. App JavaScript deferred where possible.
Product data stored in description HTML or manually formatted JSON in text fields. Wrong format breaks the storefront. Merchandisers call support for every update.
Metafield definitions configured through Shopify Admin with the correct field types. Sections and blocks in the theme reference metafields cleanly — merchandisers update structured data with form fields, not JSON.
Full-time hiring takes 2–3 months of recruiting, interviews, and notice periods. Your roadmap sits idle.
No recruiting pipeline, no notice period. Reach out today and we can be writing code by end of week.
Account managers relay messages to developers you've never spoken to. Feedback takes days to reach the person building.
You talk directly to me — the person writing every line. Slack, email, or video. No middlemen, no message relay.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectHow It Works
A straightforward process built for fast starts and transparent delivery.
Tell Me About Your Project
Send the project form with your requirements, timeline, and what success looks like. I respond within 24 hours with questions and a scoping proposal.
Agree on Scope & Rate
We align on deliverables, timeline, and engagement model — hourly, fixed-price, or retainer. A signed agreement before any code is written.
Store Audit + Theme Branch Setup
Existing theme performance measured (PageSpeed, GTmetrix). App stack reviewed for conflicts. Staging theme branch created. Metafield schemas designed for the product catalog structure.
Section-by-Section Theme Delivery
Each section built and reviewed in the theme editor with real product data. Checkout flow tested on every payment method. Mobile tested on a real iPhone at each milestone.
Launch: Performance Verified + Merchant Training
Google Core Web Vitals green, all checkout flows tested end-to-end, 301 redirects configured if URLs changed. 30-minute training session so the merchant can update content and metafields independently.
Transparent process, no surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
Code, IP, repository, deployment credentials — all yours from day one.
Daily or weekly async updates. You always know what's built, what's next, what's blocked.
Common Questions
How quickly can I start?
Within 24–48 hours after scope is agreed.
How do we communicate?
Directly — Slack, email, or video. No account managers or relay chains.
What if requirements change?
Changes discussed openly — scope and timeline impact agreed before proceeding.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP ownership transferred on delivery. No strings attached.

Pricing & Rates
Transparent, flexible pricing that scales with your project complexity and needs
What Affects Service Rate
Project Complexity
Simple CRUD apps differ from microservices architecture or real-time systems.
Technical Responsibility
Architecting systems costs more than executing well-defined tasks.
Time Commitment
Long-term engagements (retainers) may have different rates than hourly work.
Team Scaling
Managing additional developers or handling team coordination increases cost.
Ongoing Support
Maintenance, monitoring, and continuous improvements have different pricing models.
Engagement Models
Perfect for smaller projects, quick fixes, or when scope isn't fully defined. You pay only for time spent.
Clear scope, defined deliverables, and fixed price. Great when you know exactly what you need.
Ongoing monthly commitment for continuous work, maintenance, or on-call support. Lower rates for predictable work.
Pricing is always discussed upfront and aligned with scope. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why. No unexpected bills, no vague fees.
Pricing Questions
Can I get a discount for longer engagements?
Yes. Retainer arrangements and long-term commitments typically have lower rates than hourly work, reflecting the stability and predictability.
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Absolutely. If your project scope is clear and defined, i can agree on a fixed price upfront with specific deliverables and timeline.
What if scope changes mid-project?
We discuss and adjust transparently. Changes are tracked, impact is calculated, and i align on new pricing or timeline before proceeding.
Do rates go up for more complex work?
Yes. Complex architecture, real-time systems, or leadership responsibilities command higher rates. This reflects the skill and accountability required.
Do you offer payment plans or installments?
We can discuss flexible payment schedules for larger projects. Typically, installments align with project milestones and deliverables.
How do i determine the final rate?
During our initial conversation, I'll understand your project scope, complexity, and needs. Then i'll discuss what makes sense and agree on pricing.
