Everything Shopify — store building, integrations, apps
I build and lead teams around Shopify: custom stores, integrations, Shopify apps, and Shopify-adjacent apps. Plus experience, React, and reliable systems. Based in the Boise area.

I'm an engineering leader and hands-on developer—and my focus is everything Shopify: store building, integrations, custom apps, and Shopify-adjacent apps.
I currently lead a small team of developers at CellCore Biosciences, where we build and modernize software for a fast-growing wellness brand—including Shopify stores, themes, and integrations. I've been with CellCore since 2020, working with JavaScript, React, Shopify Liquid, and the Shopify ecosystem to deliver great experiences.
Whether you need a new store, theme customization, third-party integrations, or a custom Shopify app (or app-adjacent product), I can help. I care about clean code, clear communication, and making sure everyone on the team feels included.
I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Boise State and completed a full-stack program at CodeWorks; the blend of people skills and technical depth helps me bridge product vision, design, and implementation. Outside of work, I'm an Eagle Scout and value leadership and continuous learning.
Representative areas where I deliver: store builds, integrations, and reliable systems.
Built and maintained reliable ingestion + sync patterns for high-volume order/customer data, with queue-based processing and clean retry behavior.
Led cross-system integrations between Shopify, 3PL, Salesforce, and other vendors—focused on data consistency, observability, and operational clarity.
Lead a small team, set technical direction, review architecture, and unblock delivery—while still shipping hands-on.
Reduce manual work through Shopify Flow and internal tooling, so operations can scale without constant “firefighting.”
A few representative builds. If you want, I can tailor these to match what you want to hire me for (store build, integration, custom app, or systems overhaul).
Designed a queue-based pipeline to process orders/customers reliably at scale, with idempotent upserts, retries, and failure handling.
Result: Fewer failures under load and clearer monitoring for ops.
Owned integration architecture and troubleshooting across multiple systems—ensuring consistent order/customer state and clear operational handoffs.
Impact: Consistent order/customer state across systems and faster issue resolution.
Served as technical lead for a dedicated web platform, guiding architecture decisions and keeping quality high while shipping iteratively.
Takeaway: Scalable, maintainable platform with clear team standards.
Implemented automation to remove repetitive manual steps, improve consistency, and reduce human error during busy periods.
Result: Less manual work and better ops/engineering collaboration.
New storefronts, theme setup, performance cleanup, and conversion-focused UX fixes.

“I would never hesitate to recommend Troy. He is a great developer who is able to think out of the box and problem solve quickly. He is quick to learn new technology and easily becomes the go-to guy for any questions that arise. I enjoyed working under Troy as he was able to communicate effectively and made sure everyone felt they were a part of the team.”
“Troy is not only a hard worker but also an excellent team player. He has excellent communication abilities and can clearly explain complex concepts to technical and non-technical team members. He has a knack for breaking down complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand explanations. He can approach complex problems clearly and logically and find creative solutions.”
Yes—store builds, integrations, and custom tooling with Shopify Plus experience.
Yes. I typically recommend webhook + queue-based approaches for reliability and scale.
Yes—especially if it improves conversion, performance, or long-term maintainability.
It depends on scope. Small theme tweaks can be a few days; store builds or integrations are usually weeks. I’ll give a realistic estimate after a quick discovery call.
Yes. I can do ongoing maintenance, feature work, or a set number of hours per month—useful after a launch or for long-term integrations.
I recommend the simplest option that meets your goals. Often theme customization plus a few integrations is enough; custom apps make sense when you need logic or data that lives outside the storefront.
Yes. I’m based in the Boise area and work remotely with clients everywhere. We can use your preferred tools for calls and project management.
