Experience
KREWE
As a senior Shopify developer, I played a crucial role in the successful development of KREWE. Collaborating closely with the client, I designed and implemented a tailored Shopify store, ensuring a seamless user experience. By integrating custom features and optimizing performance, I improved loading times and increased sales. My contributions went beyond development; I also acknowledged my client, fostering a collaborative work environment. The project's success bolstered KREWE's online presence and revenue significantly.
Havens Kitchen
https://havenskitchen.com/I designed a website with the client's rough idea and turned it into a responsive, pixel-perfect online store. It is a custom JavaScript application that consumes an in-house API.
Utilized Shopify API and Laravel to create an app that dynamically adjusted prices for pre-designed meal bundles based on factors like seasonal availability, demand, or promotions. This dynamic pricing strategy enticed customers with attractive discounts, boosting sales and encouraging bulk purchases.

Corston
The client gave the design for Corston in Figma, and I used HTML, Sass, and JavaScript to develop the front end for this fully responsive website compatible with all modern hand-held devices while for the back end, I used the Liquid template as the store was created in Shopify. Some custom apps were also integrated into the store for additional functionalities. There were many code-intensive custom solutions introduced for the complex theme design.
Rolex Watch
I designed and developed a bespoke Shopify store for Rolex Boutique Boston, ensuring it reflects the luxury and sophistication of the Rolex brand. I created a visually stunning and highly functional website that showcases Rolex's product range in an elegant and user-friendly manner and integrated high-quality imagery and detailed product descriptions, enhancing the overall shopping experience and aligning with the prestige of the Rolex brand.
