Kevin T.

Vetted Shopify developer in Canada (UTC-4)

Full stack, mobile app, hardware engineer and blockchain developer. Certified PMP with a decade of proven software development leadership. I'm your one-stop-shop for advanced technologies! It was through a combination of The Audio Recording Academy ([TARA.ca](http://tara.ca/)), Ottawa Community Loan Fund ([OCLF.org](http://oclf.org/)), Invest Ottawa ([InvestOttawa.ca](http://investottawa.ca/)), N-VisionIT ([betterwebsites.ca](http://betterwebsites.ca/)), Carleton University ([carleton.ca](http://carleton.ca/)) and many others that I have built the breadth of skills needed to provide high quality mentorship to my students. I'm very happy to have the resources necessary to excel at my job teaching and helping people get their projects finished. Among other great experiences; I was lucky to spend 5 years working with 2 former winners of Top 40 Under 40 awards (as ranked by the Ottawa Business Journal) as a project manager and lead developer within a contract web and mobile applications development firm. While as a CodeMentor on this platform it's important that I've spent years working remotely with many teams of skilled developers, designers and system administrators to build a wide variety of tools for solving specific business challenges there's more to the story. I've also worked with musicians, event planners, studio managers and other artistic types in a wholly creative setting. While I do help with building marketing, sales and promotional websites my preference is for complex systems with multiple stakeholders exchanging highly detailed data. When these systems are designed and integrated really well – the labor savings or increased insights for the involved organizations can be huge. Above it all; I'm a maker looking for a challenge. I have built Arduino microcontrollers speaking Bluetooth to native Android applications, set up commercial websites using all sorts of different CMS systems, set up hybrid web apps compiling to either iOS or Android, programmed a variety of non-trivial smart contracts and all sorts of complicated combinations of the above. Lately; my work day typically consists of working directly with clients who are trying to solve a specific business concern or a hobbyist/entrepreneur working on a passion project. Often they just don't have the on-hand skillset to get it done and need a flexible helper who can step into many different rolls as needed for a project. You'll find that if we can agree on a project scope, price and deliverables that I'm very passionate about achieving the deadlines we agree on. I've worked separately as both lead developer on complex projects and project manager on similarly complex projects. This allows me to confidently estimate for how long work is likely to take. I try to provide buffer time for delays or mistakes; but if time does run low or there are competing objectives I make sure they're communicated early and risk points are identified. During the academic season I like having the opportunity to work with new developers where I can help them to either understand then solve a problem or get an unnecessary roadblock out of the way so they can get back to solving the problem rather than fighting one of the many frustrations of learning how to think like a programmer. I look forward to hearing more about your project and discussing how I can help make it into a reality.

Why hire a Shopify developer?

Shopify is an eCommerce platform with features for creating high-quality online stores. It is chosen by many online sellers because it is cost-effective, secure, fast, flexible, and simple to set up. While anyone can use Shopify to get an up-and-running e-commerce site in no time, they may run into issues sometime down the line. To keep your e-commerce website up at all times, you should hire Shopify developers to build and maintain a functional and engaging store.

Whether you intend to run a small online store, or a scalable e-commerce website, Shopify offers SEO-friendly, quick loading, marketing tools, security, multilingual, and multi-currency support. Furthermore, Shopify setup is quick and easy with third-party integration services. When you hire Shopify developers, you should keep in mind that they should be front-end developers with a keen eye for design and user experience. They should also be familiar with all the Shopify integrations for inventory management, payment processing, and marketing setup for your store.

Here are some of the things a Shopify developer for hire can do for you:

  1. Help diversify your sales channels
  2. Get your business in front of customers by following UX, design, and development best practices
  3. Add additional features and customize the site based on your requirements
  4. Integrate applications needed to get your store up and running
  5. Maintain website and ensure there’s no downtime

With a good handle of Shopify’s features and capabilities, the Shopify developer you hire should be able to help with the branding, design, and copywriting of your Shopify store. They should also be able to update the code, make changes, and integrate third-party APIs to boost sales. And lastly, you should hire a Shopify developer who’s capable of providing ongoing support for your e-commerce website.

How do I hire Shopify developers?

Now, all qualified Shopify developers should already use version control, have extensive knowledge of the platform’s API, and possess a deep understanding of PHP and JavaScript. Apart from that, your developer’s portfolio should be filled with Shopify projects. When you’re evaluating potential candidates’ portfolio, you should pay attention to the websites’ load speed, functionality, and accessibility features. Checking for testimonials from satisfied customers may also help you identify the best Shopify developer for your business. Lastly, when you hire a Shopify developer, especially a freelancer, you should make sure there’s a satisfaction guarantee and a post-development support plan.

Here are some job responsibilities you might include in the job description when you’re looking for a Shopify developer for hire:

  • Create an engaging online Shopify store to increase sales and revenue
  • Create Shopify themes and change pre-existing templates based on brand guidelines
  • Work with UX/UI team to create unique front-end user experiences
  • Ensure a smooth connection with marketing tools, platform APIS, and Shopify apps
  • Test and debug websites regularly to improve performance

To make the best hiring decision, make sure you assess both hard and soft skills. Along with technical expertise, soft skills such as collaboration, attention to detail, and problem-solving are crucial. Hop on over to our Shopify Developer Hiring Guide for more information on how to hire Shopify developers.

What skills should I look for in a Shopify engineer?

When you hire a Shopify developer, it is important to look for expertise in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, and Liquid, which is unique to Shopify. Liquid, developed by Shopify co-founder and CEO Tobias Lütke and made available as an open-source project on GitHub, is a template language written in Ruby. Liquid is the backbone of all Shopify themes and is used to load dynamic content and online store pages on Shopify.

If you’re a non-technical hiring manager looking to hire a Shopify developer, you should make sure to check out the candidate's portfolio and GitHub. Both their portfolio and GitHub can help you determine if they have the required skills. With that said, if there’s someone on your current engineering team who can help with the interview process, they can more accurately evaluate the candidate’s technical abilities.

If you want to find a Shopify developer to help you build third-party apps, solid knowledge of API integration is necessary. If you’d like your Shopify developer for hire to focus on theme creation, solid front-end abilities and experience with UX and UI are crucial.

Ultimately, what you want your Shopify developer to do is to help improve the user experience of your e-commerce website. With some help, every touch point in your user journey will feel more customized due to additional Shopify features. Payment gateways and other important functionalities will also help retain your customers. Make sure to assess and solidify your needs before you start reaching out to potential candidates. To ensure your hires are successful, make sure to vet both the developer’s hard skills and soft skills.
