Shopify
Architecture, integrations and custom apps for Shopify and Shopify Plus, so the store keeps up with the business behind it.
Services
Ecommerce and CMS consulting
I help mid-size and large businesses with the platforms they sell and publish on, such as Shopify, Optimizely and Dynamicweb, and with the backend integrations and .NET development around them.
What I help with
Five areas, one thread: ecommerce and CMS platforms that have to work with the rest of the business.
Optimizely
Architecture, upgrades, migrations and integrations for Optimizely CMS and Commerce.
Dynamicweb
Architecture, data integration and custom C# development on Dynamicweb for ecommerce, CMS and PIM.
Backend integrations
CRM, order management and third-party integrations that keep working when one of the systems does not.
Custom development
APIs, services and platform extensions in .NET and C#, built to be tested, deployed and handed over.
I also work with Umbraco and WooCommerce, and with other platforms when the problem is the same.
How it starts
- 1
A free 30-minute call
You describe one system and share a diagram if you have one. I tell you the three things I would look at first. No pitch; if I am not the right person, I will say so.
- 2
A written scope
If a deeper look makes sense, I send a short proposal: what I will do, what I need from you, the timeline and the price. You decide; there is no obligation.
- 3
The work
I do the review, the advisory work or the development as agreed, and report in writing.
Ways to work together
Architecture review
A fixed-scope review of one ecosystem
A focused review over 1–2 weeks of your platform, integrations or order flow, with a written result you can hand to your team and your leadership.
- Your ecosystem mapped as I understand it, checked back with your team
- Ranked risks, each with the evidence behind it
- A recommended order of work, including what not to touch yet
- A 60-minute walkthrough of the findings
Fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts.
I take 1 paid review a month so it gets proper attention.
Advisory retainer
A senior second opinion, on call
Roughly 10–20 hours a month for a team that wants an experienced architect to think alongside them.
- Design and decision reviews before you commit to them
- Platform and vendor choices, and what a migration would really involve
- Reviewing integration designs between commerce, CMS, CRM and order systems
- Pairing with your senior engineers and agency partners on the hard parts
Agreed monthly, with a short notice period.
Scoped development
A defined piece of work, built and handed over
An integration, a service or a platform extension in .NET and C#, scoped and priced up front.
- A written scope with deliverables and a timeline
- Code in your repository, with tests and a pipeline
- Documentation and a handover session
- Your team reviews the work as it goes
Priced per piece of work, agreed in writing before work starts.
Who it suits
A good fit
- Mid-size and large businesses running ecommerce or a CMS on Shopify, Optimizely, Dynamicweb or a similar platform
- A system that works but is getting harder to change, trace or integrate with
- A replatforming, upgrade or integration decision that is expensive to reverse
Not a fit
- Full-time staffing or a long-term embedded role
- Day-to-day running of your shop, or design and theme work. I work alongside the people who do that.
- Line-by-line code review or a security audit
- Work on my employer’s systems or with its information. My independent work is kept entirely separate.
Terms
Scope, price, confidentiality and invoicing are agreed in writing before any work starts. I am happy to sign your NDA. I keep what you share confidential and use it only for the engagement. I consult alongside a full-time role, so I take on a small number of defined engagements at a time.

Describe one system or decision. It takes a minute, and it tells us both whether a deeper look is worth it.
