About

I’m Faraz Riaz, a Shopify Full-Stack Engineer and Technical Lead with 7+ years of experience building custom Shopify solutions—storefronts, apps, integrations, and high-performance eCommerce experiences. I specialize in Shopify Plus and modern web development, using Liquid, React, Next.js/Remix, TypeScript, Node.js, and Shopify APIs to deliver scalable features that improve conversion and keep production systems fast and reliable.

Across 200+ Shopify stores and 55+ eCommerce projects, I’ve led teams (up to 8 developers), shipped checkout UI extensions, and built automation and backend integrations that support catalog growth and operational efficiency. I’m also hands-on with theme architecture, headless workflows, and performance optimization, translating Figma into production-ready UI while collaborating closely with product and design teams to deliver measurable results.
