From Audit to Compounding Growth
A repeatable five-phase engagement model that turns ecommerce technology investment into measurable revenue, retention, and operational leverage.
Discover
Audit the current stack, GMV drivers, funnel leaks, and automation gaps. Benchmark against category leaders and quantify the revenue opportunity before a line of code is written.
Architect
Design the target platform — headless vs monolithic, integration map, data model, and CI/CD — with a phased roadmap tied to business milestones and a clear total cost of ownership.
Build
Ship in two-week increments behind feature flags. Every release passes automated quality gates, ships to a staging store, and rolls back on anomaly — so production stays stable while velocity stays high.
Automate
Replace manual ops with event-driven workflows — cart abandonment, fulfilment routing, inventory sync, win-back — each observable, idempotent, and measured against a counterfactual baseline.
Scale & Optimise
Move from launch to compounding growth: A/B test checkout, personalise with first-party data, expand channels, and tune the stack for peak-season traffic without re-platforming.
Ecommerce Outcomes I Deliver
Two decades of commerce work, distilled into the four outcomes brands hire me to produce — each tied to revenue, not vanity metrics.
Conversion Rate Optimisation
Lift conversion 20-40% through checkout, PDP, and personalisation A/B testing with proper attribution.
Cart Abandonment Recovery
Recover 15-25% of abandoned carts with lifecycle flows across email, SMS, and push notifications.
Omnichannel Selling
Unify DTC, marketplaces, and wholesale behind one inventory, pricing, and fulfilment layer.
Headless & MACH Scaling
Migrate to composable commerce without downtime, hitting sub-second TTI at peak-season traffic.
Professional Certifications

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ecommerce and digital automation services.
The Mandate: Commerce That Compounds
Ecommerce success used to be about launching a store. Today it is about building a commerce engine — a system where storefront, automation, data, and fulfilment reinforce each other and compound revenue over time. The brands that win treat their platform as ecommerce architecture, not a website; they treat their workflows as digital automation, not campaigns; and they treat their data as a customer data platform, not a report.
Two decades of building these systems — from a direct-to-consumer channel grown to nine figures, to headless migrations, to AI-powered recommendation engines — distil into one principle: every layer should earn its cost in measurable revenue. The project case studies show the builds; the articles explain the thinking; the 55-page strategy guide is the field manual.
The work spans six capability pillars below. Each connects to a deeper resource elsewhere in the portfolio — because ecommerce is a system, and a system is only as strong as the links between its parts.
