BUILDAT // ENGINEERING_EXPERIENCE
Engineering beyond the code.
Independent development across established ecommerce operations, connected applications and production infrastructure — shaped by real requirements, existing systems and long-term responsibility.
Client identities and commercially sensitive details are intentionally kept private. The examples below focus on the engineering work, systems and environments involved.
ECOMMERCE_PLATFORM_ENGINEERING
Long-term engineering across established ecommerce platforms.
Ongoing development within established ecommerce businesses, working across storefronts, platform logic, integrations, product data, customer journeys and the systems supporting day-to-day commercial operations.
The work extends well beyond visual changes. It involves understanding how ecommerce platforms, backend services, APIs, automation, product data and customer-facing workflows fit together as one production system.
ENGINEERING_SCOPE
- Custom Shopify, Shopify Plus and Magento / Adobe Commerce development
- Custom apps, platform extensions and bespoke ecommerce functionality
- Shopify Functions, app proxies, webhooks and order automation
- B2B, Company and Company Location functionality
- GraphQL and REST API integrations
- Product, variant, pricing, subscription and custom data logic
- Checkout, cart, customer account and storefront customisation
- Magento modules, extensions, cron, indexers and API troubleshooting
- Payment, third-party service and external platform integrations
- Platform maintenance, upgrades, compatibility work and production troubleshooting
APPLICATION_ENGINEERING
Connected systems and data-driven applications.
Custom applications combining backend services, external APIs, customer-facing workflows, structured data and secure service-to-service communication.
Engineering backend and frontend layers as one connected system, with particular attention to integration boundaries, authentication, event-driven workflows, error handling and controlled access to information.
ENGINEERING_SCOPE
- Node.js and Express application development
- REST and GraphQL API design and integration
- External service integration and data orchestration
- Webhook-driven workflows and event processing
- Authentication, HMAC validation and secure request handling
