The most amazing...
...apps I've developed are three Shopify apps that ranked among the top 50 in their respective categories and which I built publicly on my Twitter profile.
Work Experience
Full-stack Web Developer
Club Med
- Led a team of three in building and maintaining Club Med's content management system (CMS). I also handled the website CMS and the mobile app CMS.
- Handled communication with 52 marketing teams and 500 active users globally to manage their feature requests and bugs.
- Monitored Kibana regularly for any bugs and inconsistencies.
- Managed the CMS with more than a million weekly requests.
Senior Shopify Developer
A2 Media
- Turned Shopify into a sophisticated CMS for products, albums, artists, tracklists, etc., allowing teams to customize information using no-code.
- Communicated with an internal API to generate the credits and track lists of more than 10,000 albums and over 60,000 collaborators.
- Used Shopify expertise to allow the company to launch in a close-to-impossible timeframe, resulting in revenue generation much quicker.
- Suggested solutions every step of the way during the soft launch (launch on the Shopify website) as well as during the hard launch (on the Next.js storefront).
- Set up the boilerplate environment for the Next.js storefront: TypeScript, Storybook, Next.js, Tailwind, ESLint, Prettier, Vercel, GraphQL, and Jest.
- Set up a custom Shopify app that listens to products created and automatically populates their data using Shopify webhooks and the internal REST API.
- Set up an AWS instance (ECS connected to an ECR to pull and run the Docker image).
Front-end Developer
Reparcar
- Developed a back office for vendors to check their analytics, orders, disputes, and other vendor-related marketplace features using MUI (Material UI).
- Tracked bugs and features with a Jira project management tool.
- Worked in two-week sprints as part of an Agile development team, involving retrospectives to measure what went wrong, what went well, and what we could do to improve, conducting sprint planning meetings to plan and estimate upcoming sprints.
- Organized workshops to help train the back-end developers in React and TypeScript while working as part of a team of seven developers, two front-end and five back-end developers.
Full-stack Developer
Stork Marketing
- Developed a Google Chrome extension that has been downloaded over a thousand times.
- Led the sprint planning for the project while managing a team of two people.
- Created a sophisticated technology that takes a paragraph and determines the quality and chance of being well or poorly perceived by any advertising service provider.
Experience
Axe Post-purchase Upsells | Shopify App
https://apps.shopify.com/axe-post-purchaseUpsell Checkbox | Shopify App
https://apps.shopify.com/axe-check-my-boxI built this app publicly on Twitter in 48 hours.
Also worked on ingesting the Shopify subscriptions API to allow products that contain subscriptions to be used as upsells.
Theme Scheduler | Shopify App
Big companies must hire extra staff to publish specific themes on inconvenient days, and my app helped solve that by automating this task.
I built this app in four hours while being live on Twitch.
