My Technical Journey

Here's how I've grown from a Shopify merchant to a full-stack developer and AI enthusiast

Shopify Expertise

Merchant to Developer Journey

4+ years as merchant with 6-figure revenue stores

My journey with Shopify spans both merchant and development roles. Having scaled multiple stores to six figures, I've gained deep insights into merchant needs and platform capabilities.

Full-Stack Development

New Projects & Rapid Learning

Consistent shipping of new applications

I love building new things and sharing my learnings on X. While proficient in Rails, I've increasingly focused on JavaScript-based solutions via Cloudflare Workers for their versatility.

Backend Development

Multi-Language Expertise

Versatile technology selection based on use-case

My backend expertise spans multiple languages, each chosen strategically for specific use cases. Ruby for larger web applications, Python for data processing, and JavaScript/Node.js for efficient tooling.

AI Integration

Practical AI Implementation

Multiple successful AI product exits

I've successfully built and sold multiple AI-powered products, demonstrating practical application of AI technologies in real-world scenarios.
