💎 Shopify Plus Partner (see portfolio below) ✅ 5+ years running my own Shopify store 🚀 25 years of e-commerce experience (started with eBay) 🎯 100+ new Shopify stores created 🛠️ 250+ Shopify projects completed 🤖 AI-Driven Shopify Development From your first store to full-scale growth, I help brands build, optimize, and scale on Shopify. I combine decades of e-commerce experience with professional software engineering practices and the latest frontier AI models to deliver high-quality Shopify solutions efficiently. Through my full-time software engineering experience, I've developed a modern workflow that combines AI-powered coding with VS Code, Shopify CLI, and GitHub. I use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenAI Codex to accelerate development while maintaining control over code quality, security, and the final implementation. My AI-driven development workflow includes: 🔒 Security & Data Protection: Follow strict security protocols to control AI access to project files, sensitive information, and external services. I apply appropriate access restrictions and review code changes before they reach your Shopify store. ⚡ Faster Development: Leverage frontier AI models to accelerate implementation, automate repetitive coding tasks, and solve complex development challenges. 🛠️ Custom Solutions: Build tailored Shopify features, advanced theme customizations, and complex functionality beyond standard themes and apps. 🔍 Debugging & Optimization: Investigate existing code, identify bugs, troubleshoot issues, and implement targeted improvements. 🔄 Professional Version Control: Use Git and GitHub to track changes, manage code revisions, and maintain a structured development workflow. 🎯 Quality & Reliability: Combine AI-assisted development with hands-on testing, developer judgment, and code review to deliver maintainable, production-ready solutions. AI doesn't replace my development expertise. It enhances it, allowing me to work more efficiently, tackle more complex challenges, and deliver greater value to your business. 💡 Services I Offer: 🛍️ Shopify Store Setup & Design ✔ New store setup & branding ✔ Store redesign & migration (from WordPress, Square, etc.) ✔ Import/export reviews (e.g., from Amazon) ✔ Speed & SEO optimization ✔ Custom Shopify stores from Figma designs ✔ Graphic design & video editing ⚙️ Store Configuration & Integrations ✔ Payment & shipping setup ✔ Connect Shopify to Facebook, Instagram & other social platforms ✔ Sell directly on social media (Instagram, Facebook Shop) 📦 Product & Collection Management ✔ Product & collection page setup ✔ Discounts, upsells & subscription products ✔ Dropshipping integrations and setup 🎨 Custom Visual Features ✔ Custom buttons & badges ✔ Visual effects, custom headers & footers, fonts ✔ Branding, logo design & simple graphics 🛠 Development & Troubleshooting ✔ Figma to Shopify theme conversion ✔ App installation & Shopify customization ✔ Custom theme design & modifications ✔ Bug fixes & troubleshooting ✔ Shopify training & ongoing support 📌 Next Steps If you think we’re a good fit, click "Message" and tell me about your project! 💡 Tight budget?
