Dr. Squatch
Jun 2023 – Aug 2026Full Stack Engineer II
- Lead development of complex ecommerce features across a high-traffic Shopify Plus storefront (Hydrogen/Remix and Liquid) serving millions of customers.
- Architected and shipped Squatch Bundler, an in-house bundle engine that replaced Recharge's third-party bundle tooling — moving bundle configuration into Shopify metafields and removing a synchronous external API dependency from the storefront's critical path.
- Replaced a fragile post-checkout reconciliation pattern — Recharge injecting $0 line items keyed off an unauthoritative attribute — with server-side Shopify Cart Transforms, giving bundles real authority at checkout instead of after the sale closed.
- Redesigned the PDP buy box architecture, consolidating five hardcoded, single-purpose CMS schemas into one composable, block-based system so new buy-box experiences ship as configuration rather than custom layout code.
- Led a full-catalog metafield audit across US and international storefronts, identifying and staging removal of dozens of legacy metafield definitions spanning products, collections, markets, and shop-level config to cut CMS technical debt.
- Authored cross-browser QA and analytics-validation plans covering consent management, Meta Pixel, and dataLayer event integrity, closing gaps that let duplicate or missing analytics events reach production.
- Modernized and stabilized legacy storefront code through refactoring, debugging, and performance improvements across Shopify theme and Hydrogen architectures.
- Partner closely with product, design, marketing, and engineering leadership to drive features from ambiguous requirements through production release, balancing delivery speed with long-term maintainability.
