I'm Blaz Mandl, a self-taught web developer with a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering. I blend software development, automation, and systems thinking to build reliable, user-friendly web apps and integrations. In my latest role, I worked with a long-term Shopify client, designing and implementing backend features and an API-based integration to connect to a client CRM, plus automated product import and catalog workflows to improve editors’ and admins’ efficiency. Beyond Shopify, I delivered projects across Webflow, WordPress, and Shopware, coordinating timelines, leading client meetings, and turning requirements into production-ready solutions. My earlier PLC programming work taught me to build robust systems and IoT data pipelines, and I enjoy solving real-world problems end-to-end by combining hardware know-how with software.
