Summary

hi!
I'm passionate about coding performant, accessible (& responsive), creative websites.
In the past few years, i've been utilising the power of Shopify to heavily customize the e-commerce experience for many clients. Whether it's specific logic or functionality, custom themes creations, or creating new sections/templates/capabilities for existing themes, I know the Shopify platform very well.

Previously, I was working on creating custom Wordpress themes, static pages, and HTML emails. I work all across the board in Front-End, and have a repertoire of best industry practises behind me.

Needless to say, in the past 4 years as a web developer, I've noticed the rapid nature in which the tech world moves, I consistently stay motivated to create beautiful and functional web projects.
