About

A full-stack engineer with a taste for detail,
building commerce experiences that feel inevitable.

I'm Ajay — a Senior Shopify Plus Developer who has spent the last five years shipping commerce experiences for international luxury and enterprise brands. I work end-to-end: from technical discovery and theme architecture to custom app development, Checkout Extensibility and performance tuning.

My work sits at the intersection of engineering precision and design sensibility. I care about the kerning in a product card as much as I care about a clean GraphQL query. I believe great eCommerce is invisible — it disappears behind the brand and makes the product feel inevitable.

I've collaborated with design teams, agency PMs and direct client stakeholders across three continents, and I'm equally comfortable leading a Shopify 2.0 rebuild, reviewing a teammate's PR, or architecting a custom Ruby on Rails service that powers a bespoke merchandising flow.
