to
Solutions Architect
to
- Promoted to run technical discovery for new clients: scoped engagements, selected the stack, and designed each target architecture, then led the engineering team through delivery.
- Architected headless storefronts (Next.js on Vercel, Shopify Plus as the system of record for catalog and checkout) with ISR and webhook-driven revalidation; a Builder.io component library let marketing ship launch pages without a dev ticket, down from ~2 weeks.
- Designed a B2B/B2C platform on Medusa, Postgres, and Redis with per-account pricing; synced a legacy on-prem ERP through n8n with idempotency keys on every write, plus Typesense search, Stripe, and Supabase auth with row-level security.
- Architected an AI platform that turns lab results into personalized supplement formulas: isolated, separately encrypted PHI with audit-logged reads, LLM extraction into a strict LOINC-normalized schema, and pgvector-grounded recommendations with every citation validated.
- Led a real-time 3D product configurator in React Three Fiber for an eight-figure DTC brand: Draco/KTX2-compressed glTF, HDRI-lit metals, and progressive loading that never blocks first paint, with pre-rendered fallbacks for low-end devices.
Lead Full-Stack Web Developer
to
- Developed backend services in Next.js and Supabase for a customer dashboard (Supplement Technology), including auth flows, token-based API endpoints for mobile, Shopify Admin API integrations, and customer data sync.
- Set up deployment and automation pieces such as Oxygen deployment workflows for multiple Shopify sites and an n8n instance (Docker on Ubuntu/DigitalOcean) for internal workflows.
- Built and maintained Shopify Hydrogen storefronts for DTC brands (including Manly Bands and EZ Bombs) using React (Hydrogen/Remix), Tailwind CSS, Oxygen, and Pack.

- Introduced Tailwind CSS, reducing bundle size by 40% and speeding up UI development, so user feedback made it into the product faster.
