I’m a senior Shopify and full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building, migrating, and localizing e-commerce websites for international markets. I specialize in duplicating and adapting existing Shopify stores for new regions—handling product and content migration, currency and pricing updates, tax and shipping configuration, and payment gateway setup—while maintaining strict brand consistency. I’ve delivered fast-turnaround Shopify projects for US and UK storefronts expanding into new markets, ensuring sites are fully tested, responsive, and ready for launch within tight deadlines. I work independently, communicate clearly, and provide clean handover documentation so clients can manage their stores confidently after delivery. Remote-friendly, detail-oriented, and focused on getting it right the first time.
