Work

Six shipped, each with the constraint it solved.

Most of what I build ships under someone else's brand, so there are no logos here and there never will be. Every diagram is redrawn from scratch. Nothing on this page is a screenshot of a store I do not own.

001 · POS UI extension · A jewellery retailer

Custom fields at the point of sale

Staff needed to capture order specifics at the counter that Shopify POS has no field for. Built as a POS UI extension on the cart surface, writing to order metafields so the data followed the order into fulfilment.

What I said no to

They wanted the same fields duplicated in the online checkout. I said no. Two sources of truth on one order creates reconciliation work forever.

002 · Checkout UI extension · A DTC brand

Shipping protection offer inside checkout

A two dollar add on presented as a checkout UI extension at the shipping step, with the selection written back to the order. Low friction, high take rate, and it earns from day one.

What I said no to

It only works if the protection is real and the merchant honours it. I build the mechanism, the merchant owns the promise.

003 · Theme architecture · 11 months

Four market storefronts consolidated onto one theme

Four separate storefronts, four diverging codebases, one team maintaining all of them. Rebuilt as one shared architecture with market level overrides. Eleven month engagement, 5.0 review.

Nikita is an amazing listener, and that is the key. His brain works like a puzzle. As you are talking, he is already putting the pieces together. He understands quickly, executes with precision.

004 · Full theme switch · Two phases

Theme replacement on a live store

Full theme switch executed on a trading store without taking it down, delivered across two phases with a two developer team under my direction.

What I said no to

Phase two was quoted separately rather than bundled, so they could stop after phase one if the first half did not earn its money.

005 · Ongoing development · 19 months

Theme transfers, custom forms, calendar integration

Nineteen months and still running. Theme transfers between environments, custom enquiry forms, and a calendar system wired into the storefront.

006 · Integration · 80 hours

Order integration with an external fulfilment provider

Orders pushed to a third party fulfilment system with status written back to Shopify, so support could answer without opening two tabs.

No numbers here, on purpose

I do not publish conversion lifts.

On almost every engagement the analytics belonged to the client or the agency in front of me. I never owned the reporting, so I cannot honestly attribute a revenue figure to my own work, and I am not going to invent one because everyone else does. What I can show is duration, scope and what got built.

Verified reviews

Verified, not curated.
