Vivek Rathod, Shopify developer in Surat, India

My story so far.

I started as a Shopify Developer at Shopperstrend in November 2024 and moved into a Product Manager role there in February 2025. That taught me to look at a store the way its owner does: what it sells, who buys, and what gets in the way.

From July 2025 I worked as a Senior Shopify Developer at Trignix InfoTech, and since July 2026 at ITCODE Infotech. Since September 2026 I also manage the Shopify department at LKR Code Orbit.

Today I take on custom Shopify store and app projects for businesses of every kind. Clients get one person who handles scope, build, launch and ongoing store management.

Themes and apps, both

I build custom themes and custom apps, so the solution fits the requirement instead of the other way round.

Developer and manager

I have worked as a developer, a product manager and a department lead. I understand business goals, not only code.

Experience across industries

Jewellery, fashion, food, beauty, watches and wellness stores, each with different catalogues and customers.
