Shopify Developer in Brisbane
I'm a Shopify developer and consultant based in Brisbane. I work with ecommerce brands across South East Queensland and around Australia — and remotely with brands in New Zealand, the US, UK, Canada and Hong Kong — on custom theme work, custom apps, technical SEO, Shopify Functions, and storefront performance.
Why local matters
Working with a Brisbane-based developer
Not a reseller or an offshore team with a local landing page. I live and work here, and can meet in person for brands in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the wider South East Queensland corridor.
I map the requirement, the edge cases, and what "done" looks like before writing any code, then quote a fixed scope. You get the cost and the plan up front — plus a prioritised order of work, so the highest-impact changes land first and nothing balloons mid-project.
Australian and New Zealand clients get full working-hours overlap. For US and UK brands I keep deliberate overlap windows and async updates so nothing waits a full day.

What I can help with
Custom Shopify theme and storefront work — Online Store 2.0 builds and migrations, section and block architecture, metafields and metaobjects, and Storefront API / headless implementations. Built clean, so your marketing team can actually use the theme editor and your next developer can read the code.
A structured review of your Shopify storefront — technical SEO, performance, checkout logic, integrations and technical debt — delivered as a prioritised, ranked action plan your team or mine can execute. No vague 'best practices' list: specific findings, why each one matters, and what to do first.
Slow storefronts lose sales and rank worse. I diagnose and fix what's actually dragging your Shopify store down — render-blocking scripts, oversized images, layout shift, third-party app bloat — and get you passing Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) on mobile, where most of your traffic and most of your problems are.
When Shopify's built-in features and off-the-shelf apps can't do what your business needs, a custom app or a Shopify Function can. I build private and custom apps — admin extensions, integrations with ERPs, 3PLs and marketplaces, automation and reporting — plus native Shopify Functions for discount, shipping, payment and cart logic that runs inside the checkout.
Checkout extensibility is Shopify's supported replacement for checkout.liquid — UI extensions, branding APIs and Functions instead of editing a Liquid file that is going away. I help Plus merchants move off checkout.liquid before the deadline and build the checkout customisations that actually matter for conversion and operations.

Brisbane: common questions
Do you meet clients in person?
Yes, for brands in Brisbane and South East Queensland — a kickoff or a working session in person is often worth it. Everything after that usually runs remotely.
Do you only work with Brisbane brands?
No. A good share of my work is with interstate and overseas brands. Being in Brisbane matters most for AU/NZ timezone overlap and for local clients who want some face-to-face time.
Can you help with a storefront launch or migration?
Yes — Online Store 2.0 builds and theme migrations are core work. See the theme development page for scope, or get in touch with your store URL.
What does it cost?
Fixed-scope projects and audits are quoted after a short call; coaching is hourly. The services page has a pricing guide.
