// Also shipping — Commerce Unifier

One API.
Any commerce backend.

Commerce Unifier hides BigCommerce, commercetools and others behind a single JSON-Schema contract. Storefront engineers build once. Ops choose the backend per market, per request — without rewriting the frontend.

01 / About

I build the
plumbing behind modern commerce.

“Composable commerce isn't a stack — it's a contract. If the contract is right, you can swap providers in a weekend instead of a quarter.”

I architect and lead the delivery of enterprise-scale commerce platforms — from contract-driven middleware to multi-locale headless storefronts. My focus is systems that hold up in production: predictable APIs, sane data models, locale-aware SEO, and infrastructure teams can actually operate.

Over 14+ years I've shipped on Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, commercetools and Magento — and currently lead Commerce Unifier, a provider-agnostic backend that lets storefront engineers build against one stable surface while ops can swap or mix commerce providers without rewriting the frontend.

Architecture & delivery
Contract-driven APIs, transform pipelines, JSON Schema, end-to-end ownership.
Team leadership
Mentoring senior engineers, cross-team code reviews, sprint-based delivery.
AI-enabled commerce
OpenAI for descriptions, recommendations, SEO meta, support chatbots.
Production ownership
GCP deploys, post-deploy verification, webhook-driven invalidation.

Technical Lead

Nvizion Solutions
  • Take Shopify Plus, BigCommerce and commercetools enterprise implementations from kickoff through production launch — owning the architecture, the team, and the post-deploy verification.
  • Architect headless commerce backends in Node.js / TypeScript that the storefront builds against once, not per provider — so adding a new commerce backend is a transform, not a frontend rewrite.
  • Drive AI initiatives into the surfaces where they move the needle: recommendation engines feeding PDP and basket placements, SEO meta generation at catalog scale, support chatbots that deflect repetitive queries.
  • Design Next.js headless storefronts that expand into new locales, currencies and markets without an engineering re-architecture each time.
  • Mentor senior and mid-level engineers; own production deploys on GCP end-to-end including post-deploy verification and incident response.
Flagship

Commerce Unifier — Multi-Provider Headless Commerce Backend

A Node.js + TypeScript middleware that unifies multiple commerce platforms, CMS systems and payment gateways behind a single, contract-driven REST API. Storefront engineers build against one stable surface; ops can swap or mix providers without rewriting the frontend.

  • Collapsed multi-backend complexity into one API — architected the unified middleware over BigCommerce and commercetools, with the backend selected per request via the x-commerce-provider header. Storefront teams build against a single contract.
  • Decoupled storefronts from provider shapes with a custom transform SDK (@commerceunifier/transform-sdk) that normalizes heterogeneous provider responses into a JSON-Schema-driven contract — adding a new provider is now a transform, not a frontend rewrite.
  • Unified content, payments and asset hosting under one contract: Contentstack and Payload CMS, Razorpay, and Google Cloud Storage for media, sitemaps and product feeds — so launching a new market doesn't kick off a fresh integration project.
  • Made multi-market SEO operable by building a sitemap pipeline that publishes category, product and CMS sitemaps to GCP with cache-bust automation across locales — ops own it, engineering doesn't get paged for routine updates.
  • Built the runtime to hold under traffic with JWT auth, webhook-driven cache invalidation and Prisma / PostgreSQL persistence for carts, customer mappings and provider configuration.
  • Closed the merchandising loop with Google Shopping product feeds, bulk Google Translate pipelines and BigCommerce channel sync tooling — so new markets and channels go live without a separate engineering spike.

FashionHub

Shopify Plus DTC platform

Took a high-growth fashion brand end-to-end on Shopify Plus. Built bulk-product custom apps that took catalog ops off the merchandising team's bottleneck path, wired GraphQL Storefront integrations and Checkout Extensions tailored to the buying flow, and shipped an AI upsell engine on the product detail page — landing the launch with Core Web Vitals and conversion wins.

B2B commerce on BigCommerce

Took the friction out of complex B2B checkout and account flows. Custom analytics integrations gave the operations team buying-cycle visibility they couldn't see before, and the backend APIs were sized for enterprise traffic from day one.

Shopify → BigCommerce migration

Zero-data-loss platform migration

Moved an enterprise DTC brand off Shopify onto BigCommerce without leaking SEO or losing customer history. Preserved every URL with engineered redirect maps to protect organic rankings, and rebuilt the brand's Shopify-only custom functionality natively in BigCommerce.

LLM-powered merchandising

Put LLMs to work across the catalog and support surface area. An OpenAI-powered description generator unblocked merchandising teams on every new launch, a behavior-signal recommendation engine fed personalized PDP and basket placements, bulk LLM SEO meta generation closed the long-tail content gap, and an AI chatbot deflected repetitive order and support queries.
