Problem, build, result.

Four projects that show the range: a live UK storefront I own end to end, a store speed rescue, a voice AI receptionist, and a machine-learning side project that got me hired.

Snac Fresh homepage

Shopify · B2B portal · n8n automation

Snac Fresh: sole technical owner of a live UK storefront.

ProblemA live food e-commerce store and B2B supplier portal spanning ten services, no single technical owner, and silent drift between the live theme and the repo. Built43 production n8n workflows wired to a central failure alarm, a one-command health audit across 14 connected systems, two-way theme sync tooling, supplier-portal fixes, WhatsApp and email messaging. ResultAround 250 automation runs a day with zero errors. 215 theme files back in sync, and routine deploys can no longer overwrite live work.

Dead Threads homepage

Shopify · Performance · Technical SEO

Dead Threads: a slow store, rescued.

ProblemSluggish Shopify theme, poor Core Web Vitals, almost no organic traffic. BuiltRestructured SEO, compressed and optimised every asset, stripped render-blocking scripts, rebuilt critical Liquid sections. ResultCore Web Vitals up dramatically, the site loads fast, and a real uptick in search visibility and sales. Their words, not mine.

Garden Quote voice AI receptionist demo

AI · Voice receptionist · ElevenLabs + Twilio

A voice AI receptionist that turns missed calls into quotes.

ProblemLocal service businesses miss calls while they're on the job. Every missed call is a lost quote. BuiltMulti-client voice AI receptionist: answers the phone, runs the intake flow, responds dynamically and logs the lead in real time. ElevenLabs voice, Twilio telephony. ResultEvery call becomes a structured lead with nobody on the line. The demo runs end to end for multiple clients.

Architecture diagram of the job-fit classifier

Machine learning · Python · Side project

Ghosted 240 times. So I trained a classifier.

ProblemApplying to everything on OnlineJobs.ph and hearing nothing back. BuiltA job-fit classifier that scores listings against my profile and filters the noise before I apply. Sentence embeddings plus a Claude-powered parser. ResultFewer applications, higher reply rate, and a write-up that became my most-read post.

2 How I can help

Three ways to work together.

Scoped, fixed-price where possible. You always know what you're getting and when.

1

Shopify build & launch

Idea to first sale. A store that's fast on day one and doesn't need a developer to update.

  • Theme build or customisation (Liquid, Shopify 2.0)
  • Products, collections, payments, shipping
  • B2B portals (SparkLayer), fulfilment & email automations
  • SEO + speed baseline, analytics wired
For new brands & migrations · Fixed price
2

AI & automation systems

The manual work your team hates, replaced with workflows and small tools that run on their own.

  • n8n / Make / Zapier pipelines with failure alerting
  • Claude & OpenAI integrations, classifiers, agents
  • Voice AI receptionists (ElevenLabs, Twilio)
  • Dashboards, reporting, CRM sync (HubSpot, Xero)
For ops-heavy teams · Fixed price per system
3

Growth & performance retainer

Ongoing care for stores already live: speed, SEO, updates, and a monthly report you'll actually read.

  • Core Web Vitals & theme health audits
  • Technical + programmatic SEO
  • Content & campaign updates
  • Daily EOD notes, monthly metrics review
For live stores · Monthly
3 Process

No surprises, weekly demos.

Most projects run 2 to 6 weeks. You see working software every week, not a reveal at the end.

1

30-min call

You describe the problem. I tell you honestly if I'm the right fit and what it'll roughly take.

2

Audit & scope

Written scope, timeline and fixed price. For live stores, a speed/SEO audit comes first.

3

Build in the open

Staging link from week one. Weekly Loom or call. You can change course early, cheaply.

4

Launch & handoff

Docs, a recorded walkthrough, and 30 days of fixes included. Retainer optional.

4 Clients

In their words.

Clark built my Shopify store from scratch and I was blown away. Theme, product pages, payment gateways, even automated my order fulfilment. Within the first month we started generating consistent revenue. He genuinely cares about your business success, not just delivering a website.
Liban Egal
Founder · Shopify launch
Our store was slow and barely getting organic traffic. Clark overhauled SEO, compressed everything, improved Core Web Vitals dramatically. Real uptick in visibility and sales.
Josh
Dead Threads
Three Figma mockups incredibly fast for our homepage concept. The design quality was outstanding, exactly the premium feel we were looking for. Hired immediately after the design test.
Gavin
Balterley · Fashion e-commerce
A synchronized video player demo with live chat and viewer count, so fast it was almost unbelievable. Minor bug reported, fixed within hours with extra UX polish added.
Ozan
Apex Growth · SaaS MVP
His automation work alone has saved us hours every week. He proactively suggested improvements that made our systems run smoother.
Gary "Cecil" Rupp
Platform client
I came with just an idea. He turned it into a fully operational store that's actually making money, since day one.
Safien
Shopify launch
The learning platform exceeded every expectation. Student enrollment has grown noticeably since launch.

5 About

Developer first, operator second.

I'm Clark, based in Surigao City, Philippines. I started in digital marketing and design for local businesses, moved into full-stack development at a virtual solutions agency where I also ran a seven-person creative team, and now work as the sole technical owner of a live UK food e-commerce storefront while taking on select freelance projects.

What clients notice: I ask about the business goal before the spec sheet. A store that loads fast but doesn't convert is still a failed store. An automation nobody on the team understands gets switched off in a month.

I work in your timezone's morning, send written end-of-day reports, document everything, and hand over systems you own outright.

Notes from the workbench.

Machine learning · May 2026

I got ghosted 240 times on OnlineJobs.ph. So I built an AI to stop the bleeding.

Rejection, embarrassing math, and what happens when a frustrated freelancer learns just enough machine learning to be dangerous.
