About

I’m Valentine Okosun, a Shopify developer and technical owner with 13+ years of software engineering experience and 7 years building premium D2C storefronts in beauty and personal care. I’ve built and owned two international Shopify Plus storefronts end to end, shaping everything from the editorial, high-touch feel on the surface to the merchandising logic underneath that guides first-time visitors to the right entry product.

I work in Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript daily, designing and implementing page experiences with speed, mobile UX, and conversion in mind from the start. I’ve led fixed-date Shopify launches, built subscription and bundle-first purchase journeys that marketing teams can edit, and stayed on for post-launch iteration—shipping A/B tests and integrations so the storefront keeps improving without rework.
