Shopify Store Developer & eCommerce Growth Specialist

Fiverr • Freelance

Sep 2020 - Present • 5 yrs 9 mos

My journey as a Shopify developer started by helping small business owners who had products to sell but struggled with stores that looked unprofessional, loaded slowly, or failed to generate consistent sales. Over time, I expanded my experience by working with brands across fashion, skincare, beauty, automotive, home goods, and dropshipping niches. One of the biggest challenges I faced early on was working with stores that were getting traffic but had very low conversion rates. I quickly learned that a good looking website alone does not guarantee sales. Through testing, customer behavior analysis, and conversion focused design improvements, I helped improve user experience and increase customer engagement. I have also worked on projects where clients came after spending money on ads without seeing results. In many cases, the issue was not the ads but problems within the store itself, such as poor navigation, weak product pages, lack of trust elements, or a complicated checkout process. By restructuring and optimizing these areas, I helped create a smoother buying journey that improved performance. My responsibilities have included Shopify store setup, custom theme customization, store redesigns, product uploads, collection organization, app integration, payment gateway setup, speed optimization, landing page development, and ongoing store maintenance. I have also supported brands with upsell strategies, email marketing setup, and sales funnel optimization to increase revenue. Throughout my experience, I have learned that communication and problem-solving are key to delivering successful projects. Every business has different goals and audiences, so I focus on tailored solutions rather than a one size fits all approach. Today, I continue helping businesses build high converting Shopify stores that not only look professional but are designed to improve customer experience, increase conversions, and support long-term growth.

SEO & SERP Specialist

Google • Freelance

Oct 2019 - Present • 6 yrs 8 mos

I started my SEO journey working with small businesses that had great websites but little to no visibility on Google. One of the biggest challenges I faced was helping websites recover from poor rankings caused by weak content, technical SEO issues, and ineffective keyword targeting. I spent countless hours analyzing search trends, studying competitors, testing optimization strategies, and tracking algorithm updates to understand what truly drives results. Over time, I helped businesses improve their search visibility through keyword research, on-page SEO, technical audits, content optimization, internal linking, and SERP enhancements. I have worked on projects where traffic was declining, pages were not indexing properly, and rankings had dropped after Google updates. Identifying the root causes and implementing effective solutions taught me how to adapt to different industries and search environments. My experience also includes improving click through rates through optimized meta titles and descriptions, conducting competitor analysis, and creating SEO strategies focused on long-term growth rather than short-term wins. Seeing websites move from lower search positions to page one rankings and generate more qualified leads has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

WordPress Website Expert

WordPress • Freelance

Jul 2012 - Present • 13 yrs 11 mos

I work as a WordPress website expert focused on building, customizing, and optimizing websites for small businesses, freelancers, and online brands. My goal has always been to create websites that not only look good but actually perform well in terms of speed, user experience, and conversions. Over time, I have worked on different types of projects including business websites, landing pages, blogs, and eCommerce stores using WooCommerce. Most of my work involves turning basic or outdated websites into modern, responsive, and easy to manage platforms. I handle everything from theme customization, plugin setup, and layout design to fixing technical issues that affect performance or user experience. One of the challenges I often face is when clients already have a site that is slow or poorly structured. In many cases, the issue is caused by too many plugins or a badly built theme. I usually resolve this by cleaning up the backend, optimizing images, and rebuilding key sections to improve loading speed and navigation. I also focus heavily on mobile responsiveness because a large portion of users visit websites from their phones. Making sure everything looks and works properly across all devices is always a priority in my workflow. Working directly with clients has also taught me how important communication is. Many clients are not technical, so I make sure to explain things in a simple way and guide them through how to manage their website after delivery. Overall, I aim to deliver websites that are clean, fast, and built to help businesses grow online.
