Jarod W.
Shopify, Java & AI Integration Engineer
I build the backend systems, AI features, and eCommerce infrastructure that most developers won't touch. With 5+ years spanning Java/Spring Boot, Shopify Liquid, and LLM integration, I work at the intersection of data architecture, automation, and storefront engineering. What I actually build: β AI Feature Development β LLM-powered automation, natural language interfaces over structured data, tool-calling agents, and production-ready AI feature integration β Shopify Development β Custom theme development, complex product configurators, loyalty & gifting integrations, headless API architecture, and automation backends β Java / Spring Boot β Scalable REST APIs, event-driven systems, streaming pipelines, third-party service integrations, and usage-based billing infrastructure β WordPress / WooCommerce β Custom plugin development, pricing logic, data import pipelines, and performance optimization
