Experience

Shopify Custom Website

I was the lead Shopify developer in this comprehensive website project that encompassed design and development tasks. A highlight of the project was the creation of a custom React application that allows users to create their own neon signs. This interactive tool provides a user-friendly interface for designing one-of-a-kind signage.

The custom app integrates with Shopify's back end, ensuring a smooth flow of data. In addition, Python and Django were used to develop the custom app's APIs, while MySQL served as the database. To enhance the user experience during the customization process, Three.js was implemented, creating real-time 3D visualizations for the neon sign designs.

In addition to the custom sign personalizer, I designed and developed the entire website using Shopify's front-end and back-end functionalities. I also implemented cron jobs to delete uncompleted products, preventing them from appearing as purchasable options for other users.

Supernova | Shopify Theme

https://www.neon-supernova.com/en
I single-handedly transformed a pre-built theme into a dynamic eCommerce platform for custom neon lights. Using Python and React, I built a custom app allowing customers to unleash their creativity and design their dream lights with desired text, colors, and phrases, empowering them to personalize their spaces with unique lighting solutions.

The product page is a haven of customization. I created interactive tabs featuring a 3-image slider, a content section for detailed product descriptions, and icon-text combos—managed through user-friendly meta fields for easy updates. Building trust was paramount, so I flawlessly integrated review and Instagram feed apps directly onto the product page, showcasing real customer experiences and sparking inspiration.

Furthermore, I enhanced the user experience by building a custom shipping cost calculator on the cart page, enabling customers to see the final price with just their postal code. This project showcases my ability to develop engaging eCommerce experiences, integrate custom apps to streamline the buying journey, and ensure user-friendliness throughout the entire process, fostering customer satisfaction and driving sales.

Alcofood | Shopify Website | Shopify Custom App

https://www.alcofoods.com/
I spearheaded the development of a user-friendly eCommerce website for a company selling readymade food masalas. Leveraging a reference theme, I built a complete custom HTML experience for key pages, incorporating Shopify 2 concepts for a modern and functional design.

The focus was on showcasing their delicious and healthy masalas (chole masala, peri-peri masala, etc.) packaged in convenient and safe seal packets. To emphasize the quality, I ensured all product information was clearly displayed, highlighting the use of 100% natural ingredients and expert-tested recipes.

The website boasts a visually appealing homepage with a video banner slider, an image slider, and a revolving video slider. I meticulously applied consistent color and font styles throughout the site for a professional look.

For enhanced user experience, I created a custom "AlcoBuzz" page inspired by Pinterest. Customers can submit Instagram reels showcasing recipes made with these masalas, which I integrated seamlessly into the page. Additionally, the website features filter options (size, diet) on the collection listing page and essential policy pages for transparency.

Shopify ONYX Printer Integration

DESCRIPTION
Architected a mission-critical middleware solution to bridge Shopify orders with ONYX RIP software for a large-scale wallpaper manufacturer. The system automates the entire production pipeline, replacing manual data entry with a fault-tolerant, API-driven workflow that can handle massive print assets.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
• High-performance File Handling: Engineered a Node.js back end optimized to process and stream 3-5GB print files to industrial printers instantaneously, eliminating memory bottlenecks.
• Intelligent Routing Logic: Implemented complex business logic to automatically segment orders by SKU (e.g., routing samples vs. full rolls) and split continuous jobs to optimize material usage.
• Resilient Architecture: Designed a self-healing, Dockerized system with CRON-based retry mechanisms to ensure 100% order capture and continuous production uptime.
• Administrative Control: Built a custom React dashboard for real-time monitoring, granular error logging, and dynamic material-to-printer configuration mapping.

TECHNOLOGIES
Node.js, React, Docker, Shopify Webhooks, and ONYX Thrive API.
