I'm a Shopify developer with years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce stores — from custom theme development to conversion rate optimization and third-party integrations. I've worked with brands like Après Nail and through platforms like Storetasker, delivering solutions that look great and perform even better. I specialize in Liquid programming, frontend development, and UI/UX enhancement. Whether you need a full theme build, a tricky app integration, or a speed and SEO overhaul, I bring a detail-oriented approach that gets results — not just code. I leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot throughout my workflow — drafting Liquid logic faster, QA-testing edge cases, and generating content-ready section structures. This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify). Let's build something that converts.

Logging in from Austin, TX, I'm a seasoned eCommerce and Conversion Rate Optimization(CRO) expert with over 20 years of experience in the online space, with 12 of those years in ecommerce, helping brands scale and maximize profitability. As the founder of MHT Media, I've led hundreds projects, leveraging data-driven strategies to optimize customer journeys generating real revenue. Here are some brands I've worked with. • Giantmouse (Shopify Plus) • Mad Viking Beard (Shopify Plus) • BlackMask Products (Shopify Plus) • ClaimSimple (WooCommerce) • Pastest (Shopify Plus) • Spaze (Shopify Plus) • And Arlen (Shopify)...and many others!
Shopify stores that earn their keep. I run Graftstudio, the technical and commercial lead for mid-market DTC brands on Shopify Plus. Brands bring me in when the store has outgrown the people who set it up. I find what it's costing, fix what the numbers say pays, and measure every change. In 15+ years I have partnered with over 160 brands that generate £80m in sales across their stores. Cult Gaia, Victoria Beckham, Gymshark, Seafolly and Ireland's largest salon group among them. I'm a Shopify Plus Partner, and three in four brands come back. I take on a small number of brands at a time, offering audits, fix sprints and fractional store ownership.
I help Shopify brands and agencies build custom storefront features, fix theme issues, and connect Shopify with the other tools they use. I’m Karim, a developer in Victoria, BC. I’ve worked with Shopify since 2016 and have 17+ years in web development. Goodharbour is my independent software studio. You talk to me, and I do the work. My work covers Liquid themes, product and collection pages, cart features, custom apps, and integrations. When a feature needs more than the theme, I build the APIs, webhooks, and Rails backend behind it. At PIVOT, a Shopify Plus agency partner, I contributed to more than 20 custom storefronts as part of small development teams. I also built and maintain FieldsRaven, a published Shopify app that captures storefront data and saves it to Shopify metafields. I take on defined projects and ongoing development, directly with brands or alongside agency teams. We agree on the scope, I keep you updated, and I test and document the work before handover. If a smaller change or an existing tool fits better, I’ll say so. Tell me what you want to change, what happens today, and the result you need.
I'm Phil, founder of Candystore Studio, a Shopify studio. I've spent over 12 years building for the web and the last 6 on Shopify, including work for brands such as BrewDog, Hoodrich, Ooni and Vuse UK. Most of my work now is keeping Shopify stores working, secure and lean as brands do more themselves with AI tools and native Shopify features. Building a section with Sidekick or ChatGPT takes an afternoon. What takes the time is everything after: code that breaks on the next theme update, apps nobody remembers installing, scripts left behind by old apps, tracking that quietly stops. That is the part I take off your plate. In practice that means auditing what is installed and who has access, repairing and documenting AI-generated code, replacing single-job apps with native Shopify features or clean theme code, and monthly care for brands that want an expert watching the store. My core stack is Liquid and Online Store 2.0, JavaScript and TypeScript, and I work regularly with Klaviyo, Recharge, Rebuy, Algolia and Judge.me. When a project needs design or branding, Candystore's design team works alongside me. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price review and a written report you can act on with me or anyone else. Work happens on a duplicate theme and goes live only after your sign-off.

I move stores from WooCommerce to Shopify and keep everything that matters: the catalog, the full order and customer history, discounts, content, and search rankings. These migrations are where WordPress depth and Shopify depth both pay off, and I have both. Years as a freelance WordPress developer, then years building on Shopify, including themes on the Shopify Theme Store trusted by 800+ stores. The hard part isn't exporting data, it's landing it in the right Shopify structure: orders that reconcile to the cent, refunds, guest customers, data buried in WooCommerce plugins, and redirects that protect your SEO. I build a custom import pipeline per store, validate it before go-live, and reconcile against the source when it's done, then set up payments, shipping, taxes, Markets, and languages so you launch a store that's actually ready. I can take the whole move to launch from payments, shipping and carrier setup, taxes, Shopify Markets and multiple languages, theme setup and customization, to the cutover itself and stick around afterward for the theme work, conversion improvements, and maintenance that follow. Happy to talk through your store and scope the move.
Hello! I’m a senior eCommerce developer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in platforms like Shopify, Magento, WordPress, Squarespace, HubSpot, JavaScript, and PHP frameworks. I'm based in Northern Virginia, and I’m passionate about store creation, maintenance, and customization — especially using selected themes. My biggest strength in Shopify is the ability to customize stores to meet unique client needs, no matter how specific. I also have extensive experience with Shopify theme upgrades, and I’m currently looking to grow my skills in Shopify app development. I’ve done some app customization already and would love to explore it more deeply.
