Charles D.

Solutions Architect | Shopify Plus Partner | Sr. Website Developer

I’m a Shopify Solutions Architect and eCommerce engineer with 8+ years of hands-on experience helping 150+ brands—from funded startups to 9-figure eCommerce businesses—architect, build, migrate, and scale high-performance Shopify platforms. I specialize in solving complex eCommerce problems that go beyond standard Shopify development. Whether you’re outgrowing your current Shopify store, planning a Shopify Plus migration, evaluating a headless architecture, integrating complex systems, or building a custom commerce experience, I can help architect the right technical solution and lead the implementation. What I Specialize In Shopify Architecture & Technical Strategy Designing scalable Shopify architectures around your business model, technical requirements, integrations, growth plans, and customer experience. Headless Shopify Development Building high-performance headless storefronts using Shopify Hydrogen, React, Remix, Next.js, and Shopify APIs when a traditional Shopify theme is no longer the right solution. Shopify Plus & Enterprise Commerce Architecting solutions for high-volume stores that require advanced functionality, complex integrations, scalability, performance, and operational efficiency. Custom Shopify Development Developing custom themes, storefront functionality, Shopify Functions, apps, extensions, and API-driven solutions that solve unique business requirements. Complex Integrations & Systems Architecture Connecting Shopify with ERP, PIM, WMS, fulfillment, CRM, subscription, marketing, inventory, and other third-party systems. Shopify Migrations & Replatforming Planning and executing migrations to Shopify or Shopify Plus while protecting SEO, data integrity, functionality, and the customer experience. Performance & Scalability Identifying technical bottlenecks and architecting faster, more scalable storefronts that can support increasing traffic, transactions, and product catalogs. CRO & Technical UX Combining technical architecture with conversion-focused UX to create storefronts that are easier to use and designed to support revenue growth. My Approach I don’t approach complex Shopify projects as simply a developer waiting for a list of features. I start by understanding the business requirements, technical constraints, existing technology stack, and long-term growth objectives. From there, I determine the architecture and implementation strategy that makes the most sense. That may mean extending Shopify's native capabilities, building custom functionality, integrating external systems, or moving to a headless architecture. The goal is always the same: build the right solution—not simply build more software.
