Shopify Plus

Transformation and architecture for enterprise Shopify Plus.

Moving to Shopify Plus, or scaling across markets, involves many teams, partners, integrations and stakeholders. I lead the technical side of that change, and make sure the result is something teams can run long after launch.

Principles

Strategic, but pragmatic

Get to the real problem quickly, design something that scales, and leave behind systems and habits that make teams more effective.

Always happy to compare notes on enterprise Shopify.

Especially multi-market architecture, release governance and leading large teams.
