About

Most Shopify stores look good. Very few are built to convert. I'm Saad, a Shopify Developer who helps DTC brands build, optimize, and scale Shopify stores that don't just look great, but perform. My work covers the full Shopify ecosystem: 🛠 Development • Custom Shopify theme development (Liquid, HTML, CSS & JavaScript) • Flexible section and template architecture for scalable storefronts • Shopify Plus implementations, checkout customizations, scripts, and B2B functionality • Third-party app integrations and custom API connections 📈 Performance & Conversion • CRO-focused landing pages, funnels, and advertorial experiences • Core Web Vitals and site speed optimization • Shopify Flow automations and operational workflows 🔗 Tracking & Marketing Infrastructure • Klaviyo email and SMS integrations • GA4 setup, event tracking, and analytics implementation • Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and server-side tracking I don't just build Shopify stores. I build systems that load faster, convert better, and integrate seamlessly with the tools brands rely on to grow. Whether you're launching a new store, improving conversion rates, or scaling an existing brand, I bring both the technical expertise and e-commerce understanding needed to make it happen. If you're working on a Shopify project and need a developer who understands both code and commerce, let's connect. 📩 Send me a message. I typically respond within 24 hours.
