Services
I build the parts of your stack that actually need an engineer.
Custom Shopify apps, headless storefronts, internal tools that untangle messy data, and the AI-assisted features everyone's asking for. I work directly with founders and small teams, not through an agency layer.
What I build
Shopify Plus & headless storefronts
Custom apps, checkout customization, and migrations off a theme you've outgrown. This is where most of my hours have gone for the last few years.
Internal tools & automation
The unglamorous stuff that eats a week of someone's time every month: webhook-driven data pipelines, admin dashboards, rules engines like the one I built to auto-correct bad product data for '47 Brand.
AI-assisted features
Practical uses of the Claude or OpenAI APIs wired into a real product and a real workflow, not a chatbot bolted on for the sake of having one.
Full-stack web apps
From the marketing site down to the database, when what you need is one engineer who can own the whole thing instead of a hand-off between three specialists.
How it works
A quick call
Tell me what's broken or what you're trying to build. No deck, just a conversation.
Scope & estimate
A written breakdown of what I'd build and roughly how long it takes, before anything's billed.
Build in the open
Regular updates and working software early, so you're never waiting on a surprise at the end.
Ship & hand off
Deployed, documented, and yours. I stick around for fixes if something comes up after launch.
Who I work with
- A Shopify Plus store that's outgrown its theme
- A small business or new brand that needs a site that actually works, not a template
- A manual process or messy data pipeline that's quietly eating someone's week
- A founder who wants one engineer to own frontend to backend
- A team that needs extra hands for a defined stretch of work
Rates & availability
Project-based for a defined scope, or a monthly retainer for ongoing work. Rates depend on scope, we can talk specifics on a call. Currently: open to new projects.
