Current Role & Transition:

Owner of a boutique agency providing custom development and CRO for D2C Shopify brands (2017–present). Generated mid-six-figure annual revenue and handled it all - sales, marketing (SEO, media buying), project/team management (led remote team of 4 developers), and client relations (email, calls, CRMs). Winding agency down to pursue new challenges and a full-time technical role in 2026+.

Prior Experience:

Full-time Rails developer (2013–2017) at various Boston-area startups and ad agencies.

Projects:

- Built & launched numerous public/private Shopify apps (Rails) used by hundreds of stores.

- Latest: Architected, built, and maintaining cutting-edge Rails (8.x) app for AI girlfriend platform (private client) with thousands of daily active users.

I'm a developer at heart that prefers a backend focus: app architecture, business logic, APIs - but am adept at handling management and organizational tasks that exceeds at finding solutions to problems technical and non-technical. No formal resume due to so much time away, can talk about experience and can share private production app repos with interested parties.
