𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 & 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 | 𝐄𝐑𝐏 & 𝐀𝐏𝐈 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐀𝐈-𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 | 𝟏𝟎+ 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Full-stack ecommerce engineer specializing in Shopify Plus ecosystems, enterprise integrations, scalable commerce architecture, and AI-assisted software development. I help growing and established brands connect Shopify to their core business systems — including ERP, PIM, CRM, inventory, fulfillment, and third-party APIs — while building reliable, automated, and high-performance ecommerce operations. With 10+ years of development experience, I combine traditional software engineering with modern AI-assisted development, vibe coding, and prompt engineering to accelerate prototyping, debugging, documentation, testing, and implementation without sacrificing code quality or maintainability. My focus is not simply building storefronts. I design and implement end-to-end ecommerce systems that reduce manual work, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term revenue growth. I work best with companies that need more than someone who can edit a Shopify theme. They need a technical partner who understands Shopify Plus architecture, enterprise system integrations, APIs, automation, data flows, and how to use modern AI development tools effectively. ✔ Shopify Plus development, customization, and scaling ✔ ERP, PIM, CRM, WMS, OMS, and third-party system integrations ✔ API architecture and middleware development using REST, GraphQL, and webhooks ✔ AI-assisted development and vibe coding for rapid prototyping and implementation ✔ Prompt engineering for development workflows, automation, analysis, and documentation ✔ Headless commerce architecture using Next.js / Hydrogen where appropriate ✔ Checkout extensibility, Shopify Flow, and business process automation ✔ Ecommerce, inventory, order, and fulfillment data synchronization ✔ Performance optimization for high-traffic Shopify stores ✔ Legacy modernization, platform migration, and ecommerce architecture improvements 🚀 SHOPIFY PLUS & ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT ➜ Shopify Plus store architecture, development, and scaling ➜ Custom Shopify Liquid and JavaScript development ➜ Multi-system integrations across ERP, PIM, WMS, OMS, and CRM platforms ➜ Shopify Flow automation and business process optimization ➜ Checkout Extensibility and custom workflows ➜ Multi-store, multi-market, and multi-region ecommerce environments ➜ Performance optimization for high-volume Shopify stores ➜ Shopify application and custom integration development ⚙️ ENTERPRISE INTEGRATIONS & API ENGINEERING ➜ REST and GraphQL API development and integration ➜ Middleware architecture for reliable data synchronization ➜ ERP, PIM, OMS, inventory, and fulfillment system integrations ➜ Webhooks and event-driven architecture ➜ Third-party SaaS integrations and custom connectors ➜ Product, inventory, customer, order, and fulfillment synchronization ➜ Data mapping, transformation, validation, and reconciliation ➜ Integration monitoring, error handling, retries, and system reliability 🤖 AI-ASSISTED DEVELOPMENT, VIBE CODING & PROMPT ENGINEERING I use AI as an engineering productivity tool to move faster while maintaining human oversight over architecture, security, testing, and production quality. ➜ AI-assisted coding and vibe coding for rapid development and prototyping ➜ Prompt engineering for complex development and technical workflows ➜ AI-assisted debugging, refactoring, and code analysis ➜ Rapid proof-of-concept and MVP development ➜ AI-generated unit test and test-case acceleration with developer validation ➜ Technical documentation and API specification generation ➜ AI-assisted requirements analysis and solution architecture ➜ Structured prompts and reusable workflows for development teams ➜ AI-supported research and troubleshooting for complex integrations The goal is not to replace engineering judgment with AI — it is to combine experienced engineering with AI tools to deliver solutions faster, explore more options, and reduce repetitive development work. 📈 HEADLESS & MODERN COMMERCE ARCHITECTURE ➜ Headless Shopify builds using Next.js and Hydrogen ➜ Shopify Storefront API implementation and optimization ➜ Custom frontend architecture focused on performance and UX ➜ Scalable decoupled ecommerce architecture ➜ Server-side integrations and middleware services ➜ Modern JavaScript and API-driven commerce development 🛠 CORE EXPERTISE Shopify Plus • Shopify Liquid • ERP Integration • PIM Systems • OMS Integration • API Development • GraphQL • REST APIs • Webhooks • Shopify Flow • Checkout Extensibility • Next.js • Hydrogen • Node.js • PHP • JavaScript • Ecommerce Architecture • System Integration • Middleware • Performance Optimization • Automation Engineering • AI-Assisted Development • Vibe Coding • Prompt Engineering • LLM Workflows If you are
