Hi, I'm Matt, a Shopify developer in Connecticut.

Shopify development for stores that need more than a theme.

Custom storefront features, integrations with the tools you already use, and fixes for whatever's slowing your store down. Built cleanly, and simple for your team to run day to day.

    • Structured product content with metafields and metaobjects

Recent work

Each clip shows the feature running on a real Shopify storefront. The demo store is password protected; the password is listed with each project.

Scroll-synced product video

A product video that scrubs frame by frame as shoppers scroll, forward and back, with feature tooltips that draw in at exactly the right moment. Merchants add, position, and time each tooltip in the theme editor, with no code. Phones, tablets, and reduced-motion visitors get still images instead and never download the video.

Hover-reveal product gallery

A staggered collection grid with notched cards. Hovering a card sweeps in the product's lifestyle shot, so shoppers see it in use without leaving the page. It picks up each product's second image automatically, with no JavaScript and no extra setup per product.

Tear-to-reveal gift card

A campaign page hidden under a sheet that shoppers tear apart with their mouse or finger, driven by real cloth physics. Underneath is a gift card with a code they can copy and a QR code. A Skip button and the Escape key take anyone straight to it.

How we'd work together

You work directly with me, from the first call to the finished feature.

  1. Scope

    We agree on what your store needs and the smallest version worth building. You get a clear quote before any work starts.

  2. Build

    I work on an unpublished copy of your theme, so your live store isn't touched. You get a preview link to click through as it comes together.

  3. Launch

    Once you've signed off, I publish it, check everything on your live store, and show you how to edit it in the theme editor.

Every feature is tested on real phones and tablets, and with a keyboard, a screen reader, and reduced motion turned on, before it ships.

What would you like to build?

Tell me about your store and what you'd like to add or fix. I'll reply personally with the next step.
