Luke T.
AI-Powered Shopify Plus Developer | Faster Builds, Strategic Insights
Your store shouldn't wait weeks for fixes, features, or answers. I'm a senior Shopify Plus developer and technology leader who has built AI into how I work, so you get more shipped each month, tighter QC, and a lower cost per feature than a traditional agency or an in-house hire. WHY CLIENTS KEEP ME ON RETAINER - Your ongoing technical partner, without the payroll. I learn your store, your apps, and your history, so there's no re-explaining and no ramp-up. - AI-accelerated delivery. I use AI across my whole process (code, QA, audits, documentation) and personally review everything before it ships. - Proactive, not reactive. I flag issues, app conflicts, and opportunities before they cost you sales. You decide what gets acted on. - Enterprise-level experience. Before founding my Shopify practice in 2018, I spent years in technology at Deloitte, EY, and GM. I act as your fractional CTO: roadmap, vendor and app decisions, and integrations. - Room to scale. When your workload grows, I bring in my senior dev team so you never outgrow me. WHAT I HANDLE MONTH TO MONTH - Custom theme development and Online Store 2.0 sections - Page builder work (Replo, Shogun, PageFly), PDPs, bundles and subscriptions - Custom apps and API integrations (ERP, POS, inventory sync, 3PL) - Checkout extensions, customer accounts, and login / membership portals - Site speed, CRO, and technical SEO - AI search visibility (getting found in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI) - Bug fixes, app troubleshooting, and emergency support CREDENTIALS Shopify Plus Partner since 2018 | Upwork Top Rated Plus and Expert-Vetted | 14+ years in IT | 5.0-star rating on the Shopify Partner Directory BEST FIT Shopify and Shopify Plus brands doing $1M-$20M that want a reliable senior developer on an ongoing basis, not a one-off gig. Send me a message with your store URL and what's on your list. I'll reply with a quick technical take and a recommended monthly plan.
