What I Do

Three ways I embed into your business.

Each engagement is tailored. None require a long-term commitment. All deliver senior-level output from week one.

Service 01

Senior store management from day one.

I plug into your Shopify store the same week we start. Merchandising, CRO, app stack management, campaign coordination — handled. You stop context-switching and start focusing on your brand.

  • Full store operations ownership
  • Weekly reporting, no fluff
  • Direct Slack access, no ticket queues

Service 02

AI automation you own, not rent.

Custom automations built on open-source tools. No vendor lock-in. No monthly SaaS fees ballooning as you scale. You own the infrastructure.

  • Abandoned cart and post-purchase flows
  • Inventory and reorder intelligence
  • Customer data pipelines you actually own

Service 03

Launch or migrate without losing momentum.

Whether you're starting from zero or migrating from Magento, BigCommerce, or a custom stack — I handle the technical and operational transition so you don't lose momentum or revenue.

  • Platform assessment and migration planning
  • Theme build or customization
  • Launch checklist to 99/100 Lighthouse score

The Process

Three steps from conversation
to fully operational.

Meet.

A 30-minute call. No discovery questionnaire, no pre-work required. We talk about your store, your goals, and your frustrations.

Embed.

I join your Slack, your Shopify, your project management tools. By the end of week one you'll forget I'm not internal.

Deliver.

Full-scope operations. Ongoing. Reported weekly. Iterated monthly.

This Is For You If

You recognize yourself in at least one of these.

You're posting ecommerce jobs because you need someone who just handles it.
Revenue is growing but your store isn't keeping up with it.
You're spending time managing Shopify instead of building your brand.
You know AI could help your operation but you don't know where to start.

If you nodded at two or more of these, keep reading.

You read this far.

That tells me something.
