I’m a Software Developer who likes making interfaces feel effortless. I build Shopify storefronts with Liquid, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with purposeful motion. Currently working at The Beyond Group: recent work with clients like Our Place, Olipop, MUDWTR, and Hu Kitchen. Based in Vancouver, Canada.

What I do

I build and scale high-performance Shopify storefronts for ambitious DTC brands combining clean architecture, polished UX, and measurable business impact.

Shopify Architecture
Custom themes, Liquid engineering, scalable sections, metafields & metaobjects, and structured content systems built for long-term maintainability.
Advanced Frontend Interactions
Barba.js transitions, seamless PDP state switching, refined micro-interactions, and elevated UX patterns without sacrificing performance.
Performance & Core Web Vitals
Lighthouse optimization, advanced image strategies, script orchestration, reduced layout shift, and performance-first storefront builds.
Conversion & Revenue Systems
Cart optimization, subscription flows, dynamic upsells, A/B testing (Intelligems), and data-driven UI improvements focused on measurable impact.
Accessibility & Compliance
WCAG-focused semantic refactors, screen reader optimization, audit remediation (AudioEye / a360), and OneTrust consent implementations.
Launch & Scale Support
High-traffic celebrity launches, bundle systems, international expansion, and complex Shopify implementations built to scale.

What makes me different

Pragmatic engineering, polished UX, measurable outcomes.

Shopify

Built for Shopify

Liquid-first with TypeScript where it helps. Upgrade-safe themes and maintainable ops.

Section schema your team can actually use
App embeds, cart & checkout extensions
Hydrogen/Storefront API for dynamic bits
Metafield strategy & content models
CI checks for theme quality & visual diffs

A11y

Accessibility & Compliance

Inclusive flows that meet WCAG 2.2 AA and regional law (ADA, AODA, GDPR/CCPA) without adding friction.

Semantic landmarks & heading hierarchy
Logical focus order + visible focus rings
ARIA only where native semantics lack
Contrast verified and themable palettes
Screen-reader QA on VoiceOver/NVDA
Consent banners that store audit-proof signals

Speed

Speed as a feature

Performance is a product choice. I build fast first—and keep it fast with budgets and monitoring.

Edge caching & smart CDN routing
Streaming SSR + selective hydration (islands)
Critical CSS with preconnect/preload hints
Modern media: AVIF/WebP with responsive srcset
Third-party audits; defer or sandbox where possible
RUM dashboards for Core Web Vitals (LCP/INP/CLS)

Motion

Animation craft

Motion clarifies flow and expresses brand—never decoration. Tuned springs, zero jank.

Context-specific spring curves and timing
Gestures & micro-interactions that teach
Reduced-motion safe paths everywhere
60fps budgets; GSAP/Framer where it wins
Orchestrated transitions with no layout shift

Independent Work
