I build software where design, usability, and performance are treated as the same problem.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT & SHOPIFY

Clarity before clever code.

I build software where design, usability, performance and maintainability are treated as the same problem.

From Shopify themes and integrations to product interfaces, WordPress platforms and AI prototypes, the goal is software that feels straightforward to use and realistic to support.

WHAT I BUILD

Thoughtful builds, not just code.

The strongest fit is work where technical delivery affects the customer journey, team workflow or commercial performance.

FRONT-END

Front-end experiences

Responsive interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React and reusable component systems.

SHOPIFY

Shopify ecommerce

Custom Shopify 2.0 themes, Liquid development, metafields, reusable sections and Shopify Plus delivery.

APPLICATIONS

Applications & prototypes

Node, PHP, Python and Flask applications, SaaS features, AI tools and rapid proof-of-concept development.

INTEGRATIONS

Platforms & integrations

WordPress, REST and GraphQL APIs, third-party services, customer-data connections and custom business workflows.

FROM REQUIREMENT TO RELEASE

Build the right thing, then build it well.

Technical delivery begins with the journey, the operating context and the constraints — not with choosing a framework.

01

Scope

Clarify outcome, users, dependencies and constraints.

02

Design

Define flows, architecture, responsive behaviour and states.

03

Build

Develop in reusable, testable and maintainable increments.

04

Integrate

Connect data, platforms, applications and content systems.

05

Review

Test accessibility, performance, edge cases and release quality.

WHERE DESIGN MEETS DEVELOPMENT

Fewer handoffs between the idea and the released experience.

Because I work across UX, interface design and implementation, feasibility is discussed while decisions are still flexible. The design accounts for responsive rules, content variation, edge cases and the way the system will actually be maintained.

• Design decisions grounded in technical reality

• Clear component and state behaviour

• Faster conversations with engineering teams

• Better protection of accessibility and performance

• Implementation review after handoff

TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY

A broad stack used selectively.

Technology is chosen around the platform, team and support requirements rather than used to make the project sound more complicated.

FRONT-END

Interface

HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, responsive systems and accessibility.

PLATFORMS

Commerce & content

Shopify Liquid, Online Store 2.0, Shopify Plus, WordPress, PHP and structured content.

BACK-END

Applications & data

Node, Python, Flask, MySQL, REST, GraphQL, APIs and third-party integrations.

WORKFLOW

Delivery

Git, Agile workflows, component documentation, testing, debugging, analytics and implementation QA.

WHAT GOOD DELIVERY INCLUDES

The work is not complete when the happy path runs once.

A reliable build considers the conditions users and internal teams experience after the launch.

Performance

Efficient assets, sensible dependencies and responsive behaviour that protect speed.

Accessibility

Semantic structure, keyboard use, readable content and accessible interaction states.

Maintainability

Clear naming, reusable components, documented decisions and realistic platform ownership.

Resilience

Loading, empty, error and success states, validation, edge cases and integration failures.

HAVE SOMETHING TO BUILD OR IMPROVE?

Create software that supports the experience instead of becoming another obstacle.

Share the current platform, the required outcome and the technical context already in place.
