Backend Developer on a Shopify-embedded product reviews & UGC SaaS platform, building and maintaining the core API and globally-distributed edge services:
- Core REST API with Laravel (PHP 8.3) powering review collection, ratings, Q&A, moderation, and merchant dashboards.
- Globally-distributed storefront APIs on Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript) with edge caching, object storage, and read/write database splitting for low-latency review widgets.
- Deep integration with the Shopify Admin & Storefront (GraphQL) APIs — app billing, theme app extensions, metafields, and webhooks.
- Media pipelines for photo/video reviews using cloud object storage and FFmpeg.
- Service-to-service architecture with JWT auth, Redis caching, queue-based background processing, and centralized error monitoring.
