I partner with startups, agencies, and product teams to design and ship software that solves real problems, at every layer of the stack.
Custom Shopify themes, Liquid templates, and app integrations crafted for performance and conversion. I build stores that load fast, look sharp, and guide customers from first click to checkout with minimal friction.
From schema design to deployment, I own the full product lifecycle. Complex third-party integrations, state management, CI/CD pipelines. I connect every layer of the stack into a cohesive, production-ready application.
Chatbots, retrieval pipelines, and AI-powered features built into your product using modern LLM APIs. Scoped around a real business problem and shipped with proper guardrails, so it works for your customers, not just in a demo.
Pixel-perfect UIs built with React and Next.js: responsive, accessible, and optimized for every screen. From design system implementation to complex component architecture, I ship interfaces that users enjoy using.
Secure, scalable server-side systems that power your product. I design RESTful and GraphQL APIs, handle authentication flows, and architect databases that grow with your business without becoming a bottleneck.
Core Web Vitals tuning, bundle optimization, and architecture reviews that turn slow apps into snappy ones. Clean code, security hardening, and scalable patterns, so your product holds up when traffic spikes.
“Working with Kyle felt like having a senior engineer on the team. He asked the right questions before writing a single line of code.”
Marco T.
Startup Founder
“Kyle delivered our Shopify theme on time and handled every edge case we threw at him. Our store looks exactly how we envisioned it.”
James R.
E-commerce Founder
“Fast, communicative, and technically sharp. He rebuilt our product page architecture and the performance improvement was immediate.”

Operations Lead
A five-step process that keeps you in the loop, so you always know what's shipping and when.
We map your goals, constraints, and success criteria together before any code gets written, so the project starts pointed at the right problem.
Stack choices, data models, and API contracts designed and documented up front, so there are no surprises halfway through the build.
Clean, production-ready code shipped in small increments, with core functionality first and progress you can see every week.
Testing, Core Web Vitals tuning, and security hardening before anything reaches your customers.
Deployment with automated CI/CD, monitoring in place from day one, and ongoing iteration based on real usage.
I'm Kyle, a full-stack developer from the Philippines. For the last three years I've shipped Shopify storefronts, web apps, and AI features for clients worldwide.
