For brands & agencies

Shopify stores built to convert.

Services

What I can take off your plate.

  1. 01

    Custom Shopify themes

    Online Store 2.0 themes built from your designs — fast, accessible, and made of sections your team can actually edit without calling a developer.

  2. 02

    CRO & performance builds

    Landing pages, PDP and cart improvements, bundles and Core Web Vitals fixes — the work that moves conversion rate, shipped quickly and cleanly.

  3. 03

    Custom features & integrations

    Product builders, subscriptions, booking flows, metafield and metaobject content, React apps — if Shopify doesn’t do it out of the box, I build it.

  4. 04

    Migrations & replatforming

    Off page builders, legacy themes, WordPress or NetSuite and onto clean Shopify 2.0 — without losing content, SEO or sales.

  5. 05

    Dev team leadership & systems

    Development strategy, SOPs, QA and review workflows that let a team of developers ship many stores at a consistent standard.

  6. 06

    AI-assisted development workflows

    Practical AI pipelines for Shopify work — page builds, Liquid review and QA — set up with the guardrails that keep output production-ready.

For agencies

Senior Shopify dev capacity from someone who’s run an agency dev team.

Too much work and not enough devs? I’ve led a Shopify development team, so I know the pace, the feedback loops and the handoffs. I can build client stores under your name, take on overflow, or set up how your dev team works: SOPs, QA and AI-assisted build workflows.

Talk partnership
  • AI-assisted, human-reviewed

    I use AI to move faster on builds and QA, and review every line before it ships.

  • White-label friendly

    I work under your brand and stay behind the curtain.

  • Systems, not heroics

    Git-based workflows, SOPs, QA checklists and clear tickets, so quality doesn’t depend on one person.

  • Overflow, builds or leadership

    Pick up a few tickets, own a theme build, or set up how your dev team works.

How it works

Simple from first call to launch.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    A quick call to understand the brand, the goal and the timeline.

  2. 02

    Scope & quote

    A written scope with a fixed quote or an hourly estimate — your call.

  3. 03

    Build

    Development on a preview theme with regular check-ins so there are no surprises.

  4. 04

    Launch & support

    A clean launch, a hand-off walkthrough, and support after go-live.

About

Hey, I’m Ryan.

I’m a U.S.-based developer who’s spent years building e-commerce for brands I genuinely love, from surf labels like Billabong and RVCA to TIMBUK2’s custom bag builder and Siete’s move to Shopify 2.0.

I’ve also led a Shopify development team, setting the technical direction and building the systems that let it ship dozens of stores at a consistent standard: the workflows, SOPs, QA process and an AI-assisted build pipeline.

I care about the details that make a store work: clean, maintainable code, pages that load fast, and admin tools your team can use without a developer on speed-dial.
