Professional Experience

With a background in Business and Leisure & Tourism Management, my career began in the travel technology sector, where I worked with Amadeus IT Group, one of the world’s leading booking and distribution systems. Over time, my curiosity for digital tools and automation evolved into a passion for building them.

While managing hospitality and tourism projects across Europe, Central America and the Caribbean, I started developing websites, booking systems, and management solutions — bridging business operations with technology. This hands-on experience became the foundation for my shift into full-time web development.

I first got introduced to eCommerce back in 2011, when I helped build a custom online solution for a small business. A couple of years later, in 2013, I developed a Magento store for an arts and crafts brand — my first full experience managing an eCommerce platform end to end. In 2018, I migrated that same business to Shopify, and that’s when I truly found my focus. Since then, I’ve been working full-time as a Shopify Developer, helping brands of all sizes build faster, better-performing, and conversion-oriented online stores.

Today, after more than 7 years as an Expert Shopify developer, I combine my commercial understanding with technical expertise to create high-performing e-commerce solutions. My journey reflects a continuous evolution — from managing business processes to designing the digital systems that power them.

Self-Taught & Always Learning

My journey into development started with curiosity and a laptop. I'm a completely self-taught expert Shopify Developer, having learned through online courses, documentation, open-source projects, and countless hours of hands-on experimentation.

The tech landscape never stops evolving, and neither do I. I dedicate time every week to learning new tools, frameworks, and best practices. Whether it's exploring the latest Shopify features, diving into new JavaScript frameworks, or studying emerging e-commerce trends, continuous learning is at the core of my professional philosophy.

I believe that staying current isn't just about technical skills—it's about understanding the broader business landscape, user behavior, and market dynamics. This holistic approach allows me to deliver solutions that are not just technically sound, but strategically valuable.
