Krisha Shah

WordPress and Shopify developer with two years of production experience, most of it spent owning client projects solo from the first client call through final handoff. Builds custom WordPress themes and plugins, sets up and customizes WooCommerce stores, and develops Shopify storefronts in Liquid, backed by solid fundamentals in PHP, JavaScript, React and MySQL.

Handles the full lifecycle on each project: requirement gathering, development, performance tuning, technical SEO, security hardening and deployment, including REST API and payment gateway integrations with Razorpay and Stripe, plus hosting, DNS and Cloudflare setup after launch. Works independently but keeps clients updated throughout, and is just as comfortable sitting with a client to work out what their business actually needs as writing the code itself.

• Own WordPress and Shopify client projects solo from the first requirement call through final handoff, turning client briefs and design concepts into responsive, working themes and making the calls on theme structure, plugin choice and platform fit.
• Develop Shopify storefronts in Liquid for e-commerce clients, handling theme customization and checkout configuration end to end.
• Build custom plugins and widgets for Elementor, Kadence and WP Bakery when an off-the-shelf option will not do the job, using WordPress functions, hooks and filters so everything stays compatible with the latest core updates.
• Set up and customize WooCommerce stores for e-commerce clients, covering product catalogues, checkout flow and payment gateway integration.
• Structure content for catalogue and editorial sites using custom post types, taxonomies and Advanced Custom Fields. Build Gutenberg blocks and shortcodes so clients can edit their own pages without breaking the layout.
• Integrate REST APIs and third party services such as Razorpay, SMTP and Google Maps into production builds, set up event and goal tracking with Google Tag Manager and PostHog, and build AJAX driven front end interactions.
• Own performance, technical SEO and security on every project I ship: caching, lazy loading, image compression, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, SSL configuration, hosting, cPanel, DNS and Cloudflare.
• Test every build across browsers before sign-off, debug with Chrome DevTools, and act as the sole point of contact for support requests and production bug fixes. Run website migrations between hosts without losing client data, and keep documentation current for each handoff.
