Senior Technical Lead Developer
Cory Kelley
Hands-on technical lead with close to 10 years of experience building high-performance web and Shopify Plus solutions for enterprise clients. Setting technical direction, unblocking teams, and owning complex builds from discovery through launch.
What I Do
Focused on outcomes, not just output.
Frontend Architecture
Designing scalable, maintainable systems that teams can build on confidently. React, TypeScript, and modern CSS at production scale.
Shopify & Commerce
Deep Liquid, theme, and storefront expertise that drives real business outcomes. Custom builds, performance tuning, and merchant empowerment.
Technical Leadership
Bridging the gap between product vision and engineering execution. Code review culture, mentorship, and shipping with intention.
How I Work
Principles that guide every decision.
Ship with intention
Every line of code should earn its place. I build for clarity, performance, and longevity — not just to close a ticket.
Code is communication
Clean code is a conversation with your future self and your team. Readability beats cleverness, and consistency compounds.
Lead by building
The best technical leadership comes from staying close to the code while empowering others to grow. Strong opinions, loosely held.
Embrace change
The best developers lean into what's next instead of fighting it. AI, new frameworks, shifting paradigms — adapt early, learn fast, and let go of what no longer serves you.
Open Source
Contributions and community involvement.
