I solve your store's technical problems and implement AI solutions
I help mid-market online stores fix bottlenecks, improve conversion, and evaluate AI opportunities – without replatforming or building an in-house AI team.
- Mid-market e-commerce
- Independent advisor
- Audit-first approach
- Analysis + actionable roadmap
- Async, text-first
- Fixed-price proposals
You probably don't need another agency. You need clarity.
- Store is slow, but nobody can show what to fix first
- AI vendors are pitching tools – you need an honest ROI estimate
- Platform migration or upgrade feels risky without an independent review
- Search and product discovery underperform, root cause unclear
- A major investment is on the table and you need a technical second opinion

Common situations I work on
-
Magento upgrade with heavily customised checkout
A B2B portal in the awards industry had built significant checkout functionality on top of Magento that didn't exist in the platform: modified discount flow, geography-based tax rules, multi-store coupon management. I led the architecture for a major version upgrade – auditing 25+ custom modules, migrating the production database, and keeping all custom behaviour intact.
-
Custom product configurator with production-ready PDF output
A mid-market e-commerce store needed a fully interactive in-browser product designer – SVG editing, image upload and cropping, icon search, multi-background variants per product option – integrated directly into the Magento cart with design recovery on return. Completed orders triggered server-side PDF generation for production. A separate module automatically calculated per-color surcharges by parsing the SVG output of the designer.
-
AI integration scoped to a specific risk area
A team wanted to introduce AI into their Magento workflow without replacing working systems. I designed a multi-provider content moderation layer – combining WebPurify and OpenAI – for customer-submitted content, with configurable detection strategy and encrypted key storage. The integration was scoped to the actual risk area rather than applied platform-wide.
