Hire a Shopify Developer

Need a reliable Shopify developer without the agency overhead? I'm an independent, verified Shopify Partner who has shipped 120+ stores. You work with me directly — clear communication, fast turnaround, and clean, maintainable code.

From custom Liquid development and theme customization to app integrations, bug fixes, and headless Hydrogen builds, I handle the technical work so you can focus on growing your brand.

Custom Liquid development

Tailored theme code that does exactly what your store needs.

Theme customization

Fine-tune any Shopify theme to match your brand pixel-perfectly.

App & API integration

Connect the tools your store depends on — correctly.

Bug fixes & maintenance

Fast, reliable fixes and ongoing upkeep.

Headless & Hydrogen

Modern, high-performance headless builds when you need them.

Direct, senior support

Work with the developer, not a rotating support queue.

What it's like to hire a Shopify developer directly

When you hire a Shopify developer through an agency, your project usually passes through an account manager, a project manager, and whichever junior developer happens to be free. Details get lost in translation and simple changes take a week. Working with me, you brief the person writing the code. Questions get answered the same day, and scope changes get an honest answer about cost and impact immediately.

I work in clear, fixed-scope pieces: we agree what is being built, what it costs, and when it lands. You get a staging theme to review before anything touches your live store, so there is never a surprise on your storefront during business hours.

The kind of work I take on

Typical projects include custom Liquid sections your theme does not support, third-party API and app integrations, migrating from WooCommerce or another platform onto Shopify, fixing a theme that broke after an update, building metafield-driven product content, and performance work on stores that have accumulated years of leftover code.

Everything is written to be maintainable by whoever comes next: commented where it matters, using Shopify's own section and block APIs rather than hacks, and documented on handover. If you ever move on to another developer, they will be able to read what I built without rewriting it.
