Serhii Nezhyhai
CV
Shopify developer in Kyiv, open to work

I build Shopify stores — and the apps that run them.

I came to development from e-commerce marketing. Since 2024 I've worked almost entirely on Shopify: one store's theme and the apps and integrations behind it, plus part-time work with a Shopify agency.

About

It's one store — informatica.com.ua — but the work spreads well past the theme.

I hold a master's degree in IT, but started out in e-marketing, keeping an electronics retailer's website running on WordPress. A 12-month fullstack program and a React internship later, I moved into development properly, and in 2024 I took over the same retailer's Shopify build.

The storefront is a customised Dawn theme in Liquid, with the interactive parts written as plain Web Components rather than a framework. Around it sits a custom Shopify app on Gadget.dev for banking, fiscal receipts and the Rozetka marketplace; an Electron price-sync tool; an AI chat assistant on Claude and the Model Context Protocol; and a public Shopify app for Google's automated discounts.

Since July 2025 I also work part-time with a Shopify agency, on Checkout UI Extensions and an AI blog-generator app for merchants.
