I specialize in the MERN stack and Next.js — with a parallel focus on hand-coded Shopify storefronts that replace paid apps with owned code, so clients aren't stuck paying monthly for features I can just build.

What I Do
I handle the full stack — from database schema to deployed storefront — so clients don't need to coordinate three different freelancers.
MERN · NEXT.JS
End-to-end web applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB — from database schema to deployed UI.
SHOPIFY · LIQUID
Custom storefronts and theme sections built from scratch — replacing paid apps with hand-written code clients actually own.
TECHNICAL SEO
Structured data, Core Web Vitals, and technical audits that help a site get found, not just look good.
NODE · REST · PAYMENTS
REST APIs, database design, and third-party integrations — including payment gateways for production e-commerce.

Real client, real code
A configurable size chart, a Deal-of-the-Day countdown, sales/payment badges, and a related-products carousel — all hand-built in Liquid, CSS, and JS to replace paid apps like Hextom, wired up as theme editor blocks the store owner can toggle without touching code.

Everything below is real and either live or open-source — no Lorem Ipsum case studies.
Shopify
Custom Shopify theme development for houseofdarjii.com, including hand-built Liquid/CSS/JS sections replacing paid apps — sales badges, payment badges, a Deal of the Day countdown, a related-products carousel, and a tag-based configurable size chart popup, all wired up as theme editor blocks.
Full-Stack
An app that empowers you to effortlessly manage your daily finances — record expenses, categorize them, and visualize your spending patterns to gain insights.
Frontend
A Netflix-inspired streaming UI built with React, using Firebase for user accounts and TMDB's API for a full library of movies and shows with trailers.
MERN
A full MERN stack todo app to create, manage, and prioritize tasks, with MongoDB for storage, Express for the API, and a React frontend.
Frontend
A React + Vite currency converter for quickly converting between currencies with a clean, minimal UI.

How I Work
Understand the actual problem first — what the site needs to do, who it's for, and what's already been tried.
Wireframes and a design system before any code — colors, type, and components locked in, not decided mid-build.
Section by section, tested as I go — the same process this redesign itself used, live in your browser.
Deployed, checked across devices, handed off with docs — or kept live and maintained, for freelance work.
