About

I’m Noman Akhtar, a Senior Shopify & WordPress Developer with 9+ years of experience turning Figma designs into fast, scalable, conversion-focused e-commerce experiences. I build custom Shopify themes and private/public Shopify apps, develop WordPress themes and Gutenberg blocks, and deliver end-to-end solutions that connect design, engineering, and business goals—especially for Shopify Plus and complex migrations.

I’m known for performance optimization, building robust integrations (APIs, payment processors, CRMs, IoT/Storefront API use cases), and improving customer journeys through CRO and A/B testing. Whether it’s migrating from Magento/WooCommerce, implementing Shopify Functions/Checkout logic, or leading development efforts and mentoring engineers, I enjoy solving tough e-commerce problems and shipping reliable products.
