01 Services

Backend work that holds up in production.

Three areas, one standard: code your team can understand, run and extend.

01

Design and build

Designing and building Python backends that scale with your business — clean domain logic, production-ready APIs, background jobs, and data pipelines.

Emphasis on maintainability, observability, and long-term ownership rather than quick fixes or fragile implementations.

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • REST

02

Extend Shopify

Extend Shopify beyond the storefront through custom apps, Admin extensions, and robust API integrations that match real operational workflows.

Experience across complex catalogs, multi-system sync, and edge cases in real-world commerce setups.

  • Shopify
  • Admin API
  • GraphQL

03

Automate operations

Automating operations across systems using webhooks, queues, and scheduled jobs to remove manual work and keep data consistent.

Focus on resilience: retries, monitoring, alerting, and predictable failure modes in production environments.

  • Azure
  • Webhooks
  • Queues

02 Approach

My goal is to make myself unnecessary.

„When you no longer need me, I’ve done my job well.“

  1. 01

    Understand first

    Requirements, existing systems and the day-to-day workflows come first. Risks and open questions are named early.

  2. 02

    Build for operation

    Clear interfaces, tests and monitoring. Failures are expected, visible and recoverable.

  3. 03

    Hand over cleanly

    Documentation and a structured handover, so your team runs the daily business itself — until the next step.
