STOP
FIGHTING
YOUR STORE

I'm Joshua. I spent two years inside Shopify answering merchant tickets, which means I've already seen whatever is broken on your store. Now I fix it directly instead of writing you an article about it.

What I do

Pick a lane or hand over the whole thing

/01

Theme & store build

Full storefronts from an empty admin, or precise surgery on the theme you already run. Written in Liquid, not stacked on with another app.

  • Liquid templates
  • Custom sections
  • Horizon / Dawn / OS 2.0
/02

Catalog & data

Bulk imports, variant clean-up, structured product attributes and the collections and filters sitting on top of them.

  • Matrixify
  • Metafields / metaobjects
  • Search & Discovery
/03

Daily operations

Orders, inventory levels, refunds, customer email. The unglamorous work that keeps a store trustworthy.

  • Order support
  • Inventory sync
  • Inbox management
/04

Speed

Find what's actually slowing the page down, then fix it in the theme. Not a plugin that promises to.

  • LCP / INP / CLS
  • Image + script audit
  • App bloat removal
/05

SEO & AI search

On-page SEO plus the newer job: being the store that AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity actually quote.

  • JSON-LD schema
  • AEO / GEO
  • Collection strategy
/06

Automation

Shopify Flow for the repetitive work, gateways and checkout configured properly, apps wired to talk to each other.

  • Shopify Flow
  • ManyChat
  • Checkout config
02

Selected work

Real client stores, not template demos

TASTE
CULINARY
Full build · Horizon theme

Taste Culinary Food

A Philippine café-ingredient distributor moving off the shop floor and onto Shopify. Built from an empty admin: custom Liquid templates across product, collection and landing pages, brand pages for Catcher Gourmet, Toschi and Cafetto, payment gateways and checkout configured, metafields for product attributes, and a browser-based inventory reconciliation tool built in JavaScript.

Two years
on the inside.

From April 2024 to April 2026 I worked inside Shopify as technical merchant support, front line for merchants worldwide. Themes, apps, payments, checkout, DNS, domains, gateway failures. When it broke, it landed in my queue.

That job taught me where stores actually break, and it's almost never where the owner thinks it is. Now I do the fixing directly, freelance, for founders and small teams who need someone who can read Liquid and answer a customer email in the same afternoon.

I use Claude Code and AI-assisted workflows through the whole process, so turnaround is faster than the day rate suggests.
