Specialty Coffee E-Commerce

Greenfield build. Artisan brand. Subscriptions from day one.

Magento 2.4.8PHP 8.3HyvaTailwindCSS 4Alpine.jsMariaDB 11.4RedisDocker

Challenge

A specialty coffee brand needed a greenfield e-commerce platform that reflected their artisan identity while handling subscription products, variable grind options, and a growing range of single-origin and blended coffees. The site needed to feel premium, load fast on mobile, and convert first-time visitors into subscribers.

Approach

Greenfield Magento 2.4.8 build with Hyva theme and Tailwind CSS 4, designed from scratch to match the brand's craft identity
Custom product pages with grind size selectors, weight options, and subscription logic for recurring orders
Performance-first frontend: lazy-loaded imagery, Alpine.js micro-interactions, and optimised critical rendering path for sub-3-second mobile loads

Enterprise Magento Upgrade

2.4.5 to 2.4.8. 30+ modules audited. Zero downtime.

Magento Commerce (EE)PHP 8.3HyvaComposerPHPStanDockerBitbucket Pipelines

Challenge

An enterprise retailer running Magento Commerce 2.4.5 needed a major version upgrade to 2.4.8 to resolve end-of-life security concerns, gain PHP 8.3 compatibility, and unlock performance improvements. The platform had 30+ third-party modules, custom integrations, and a Hyva theme — all of which needed compatibility auditing before a single line of code was changed.

Approach

Full pre-upgrade audit: module compatibility matrix across all 30+ vendor and custom modules, identifying breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and version constraints
Phased upgrade execution: Composer dependency resolution, database schema migrations, and Hyva theme compatibility updates with zero data loss
Static analysis with PHPStan and PHP compatibility scanning to catch type errors and deprecated function usage before deployment

MarkdownGitGitHubStatic Site GenerationMagento 2Technical Writing

Challenge

The Magento Open Source project needed its merchant documentation written, reviewed, and maintained by engineers who actually build with the platform daily. The existing docs had gaps, outdated instructions, and lacked the practical depth that merchants and developers relied on to configure and run their stores.

Approach

Joined the Magento Association Documentation Committee as an active board member, contributing to the OS site build and docs generation pipeline
Writing and reviewing merchant-facing documentation covering store configuration, catalog management, and platform administration
Ensuring documentation accuracy by cross-referencing against real Magento 2.4.x installations and testing instructions against live environments
