Magento stores, built and brought back.

When no extension does what the store needs, or the one that does brings ten things you don’t, a custom module is the cleaner answer. I write them to Magento’s own conventions, with tests, and hand over the code so the module is yours.

Two of my modules are public, so you can read the code before you hire me: a catalog infinite scroll module under the MIT licence, and a Page Builder hero banner slider. Both were installed and tested on a real Magento 2.4.7 store before release, because some faults never show in static checks: an admin page missing its access rule that sent even a full administrator back to the dashboard, and a layout file in the wrong folder that Magento ignored without an error.

Much of my Magento work is on stores I didn’t build. The common problems are a slow storefront failing Core Web Vitals, dozens of extensions that overlap, a checkout that errors for a slice of customers, and releases that break something new every time. Most stores still carry decisions made several versions ago, and knowing why they were made is most of the work of undoing them safely.

I trained in digital forensics before I worked in ecommerce, and I still use those manual techniques to find malicious code injected into Magento stores, including card-skimming scripts that sit in a theme file or a database field for months without anyone noticing. Clean-ups go with the security patches that let the attacker in, so it doesn’t happen again.

Klaviyo on Magento 2, including Hyvä stores where the standard integration needs extra work. ERP, order management and PIM connections that keep stock, prices and product data in step. Marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay through M2E Pro or a built connection, and new payment gateways. Each has its own page under Integrations.

A small agency moved me from PHP and WordPress work straight into Magento builds and the servers underneath them. I learned the platform on live client work and passed the Magento 1 certification first time, three months in. After that I joined a multi-brand agency for the Magento 2 launch and spent years on the platform across agencies large and small.
