MushroomAngel — Custom Shopify Development (End‑to‑End)
Overview
Project / Client: MushroomAngel.com — Shopify Store Build & Enhancement
Industry: Health Foods /
D2C E‑commerce Duration: 6 weeks (implementation) + ongoing optimization/support
Team: Design, Development, PM, QA, Technical Lead & DevOps (led by me)
MushroomAngel needed more than a standard Shopify template — they required custom functionality,
performance tuning, and secure integrations to support their growing direct‑to‑consumer brand. We
delivered full stretch development on Shopify, covering UX, custom code, QA, DevOps, and security.
Problem / Challenge
- Off‑the‑shelf themes couldn’t support required features
- Checkout + subscription logic needed custom handling
- Marketing tools and analytics weren’t reliably integrated
Constraint: Deliver custom features while staying compliant with Shopify best practices
and keeping the storefront fast.
Approach / Strategy
- Evaluated theme options vs. custom sections
- Built reusable Liquid components and custom apps where needed
- Implemented structured events for analytics + marketing automation
My role: Technical Lead — architecture, Shopify customization, PM, QA direction, DevOps
& security oversight.
Tech: Shopify (Liquid), custom apps, JS, webhooks, payment
integrations, CDN/caching, monitoring.
