I currently work as a Shopify developer at Visualsoft, a Shopify Premier Partner. Over five years at the agency I've shipped work through the full project cycle — from concept and design through to testing and deployment.

I develop, customise, and maintain Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. That means turning Figma into responsive Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; integrating third-party apps; and keeping the storefront fast, stable, and on-brand. I care about performance, conversion, and a customer experience that feels as considered as the design.

Away from theme work I build full stack JavaScript applications. That includes React and Vue on the front end, Node and Express APIs, and MERN-stack apps that run from the database through to the UI. I am comfortable working across the stack when a brief needs more than a storefront.

Theme work, JavaScript apps, and the bits that make a product feel finished. I work across the Shopify ecosystem and the wider JS stack, so the build can be a storefront, a React or Vue app, or an API behind it.

• Shopify & Shopify Plus themes
• Liquid, HTML, CSS & JavaScript
• React, Vue & Tailwind
• Node, Express & MERN
• App integrations & APIs
• Performance, SEO & CRO
• Figma to responsive code
• Full project lifecycle

I collaborate with design, marketing, and content teams so the experience stays cohesive. I also troubleshoot bugs, bottlenecks, and the awkward edge cases that show up after launch — on Shopify or in a Node and React codebase.

Tell me about the project. A short note on the brand, the brief, and where you are in the build is enough to start.
