ABOUT ME
Expert Laravel Developer and Consultant
Expert Laravel Developer and Consultant

I'm solutions consultant and web-developer with over 10 years of extensive experience in eCommerce and SaaS consulting and development.

What I do

I consult in the fields of eCommerce & SaaS development and business process automation.

I have extended experience building and designing custom eCommerce solutions, as well as custom web-applications and SaaS solutions.

Also, I am an expert in the development of custom Shopify apps, and offer Shopify Plus consulting.

My Technical Stack

I use the following programming languages, frameworks and tools:

  • PHP, Laravel Framework, Node.js;
  • Javascript, React, Vue.js;
  • Serverless Framework (AWS, Node.js, DynamoDB);
  • Shopify’s Polaris UI (for Shopify Apps development);
  • PHPStorm, Github, Bash, Docker;

My Experience and Past Projects

I have over 10 years of experience in eCommerce & SaaS consulting and development, and have worked with dozens of companies worldwide, including multinational companies on the Inc. 5000.

I have worked on a multitude of different projects throughout my career, so here’s a quick look at some of my favorites:

  • I developed a custom web app, integrating an existing eCommerce platform with a multi-warehousing environment, allowing for the optimization of logistics, and a decrease in overall expenses.
  • I developed a custom eCommerce store, integrating multi-language and multicurrency features for a streamlined, internationally-focused design.
  • I developed a custom Inventory Management and Analytics web app, using the Theory of Constraints (ToC) to enhance business performance, and optimize the balance of in-stock products.
  • I developed a custom web application to manage Returns and Alterations requests, integrating it directly with DHL and FedEx APIs for streamlined returns management.
  • I developed a custom API to connect a Shopify store directly to a 3rd-party fulfillment center.

Throughout my projects, my clients note that I work with high efficiency, and can provide solutions to tasks and projects that others deem "impossible."

I build web applications since 2009, during this time I've helped a lot of businesses all over the world by developing custom solution to fulfill their needs and solve their pain in business automation. My areas of expertise include development of custom backoffice systems (custom CRM/ERP applications), web-applications for order-fulfillment and staff operations, complex BMI/Nutrition calculators and other. I've started in 2009 working for an UK based agency with custom built-in-house CMS. In 2011 I've switched to WordPress andlearned all tricky parts of WordPress/WooCommerce eco-system by developing about 100 plugins for WordPress and WooCommerce. In 2014 I've switched to Laravel framework and never looked back.

I'm author of Building SaaS with Laravel (you may find it on Leanpub). I've started using Laravel at the end of 2014. I very quickly realized all power and flexibility of this framework. Powerful built-in queue mechanism allows use Laravel in high-load world-class applications & ecommerce websites. Great eco-system (Forge and Envoyer) allow to configure web-servers in almost no time and use zero-downtime deployment which is crucial for some businesses.

I've built a lot of javascript apps - from simple quote calculators to pretty complex apps such as drag'n'drop email builder. I've worked with almost all popular javascript libraries and frameworks, including jQuery, Angualr, React and Vue.js At the moment I prefer to use Vue.js along with webpack to manage package dependencies and handle build process.

During my work at NexusMedia, I've been involved into development and maintenance of more than 20 Shopify apps, which are used by thousands of merchants worldwide. I also optimized server workload by moving some functionality of the apps to Serverless (Cloudflare Workers) and implemented automatic CI/CD to the development workflow.
