Full-Stack Engineer · Based in India

Next.js apps 

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

Full-Stack Web Apps

End-to-end web applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB — from database schema to deployed UI.

SHOPIFY · LIQUID

Shopify & E-commerce

Custom storefronts and theme sections built from scratch — replacing paid apps with hand-written code clients actually own.

TECHNICAL SEO

SEO & Site Performance

Structured data, Core Web Vitals, and technical audits that help a site get found, not just look good.

NODE · REST · PAYMENTS

APIs & Backend Systems

REST APIs, database design, and third-party integrations — including payment gateways for production e-commerce.

Real client, real code

houseofdarjii.com — four custom storefront features, zero app subscriptions

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.

How I Work

01

Discover

Understand the actual problem first — what the site needs to do, who it's for, and what's already been tried.

02

Design

Wireframes and a design system before any code — colors, type, and components locked in, not decided mid-build.

03

Build

Section by section, tested as I go — the same process this redesign itself used, live in your browser.

04

Ship

Deployed, checked across devices, handed off with docs — or kept live and maintained, for freelance work.

Kind Words
