About Me

I'm a Computer Information & Systems Engineer with 6+ years of professional web development experience. I specialise in Shopify development — from building and customising OS 2.0 themes to creating custom Shopify apps using Node.js/TypeScript and the Storefront/Admin APIs.

I've worked across USA, Canada, UAE, and startup teams, delivering high-performance storefronts, multi-region setups, and scalable web applications. My background also spans WordPress, React, PHP/Laravel, and cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP.

I care deeply about code quality, performance, and building experiences that genuinely work for merchants and users alike.
