TAT TRAN

Shopify App Developer & Full-Stack Architect

I build production-grade Shopify apps, checkout logic, discount systems, and database-heavy commerce workflows for real merchant operations.

operator identity

Building precise commerce systems.

I work where storefront ambition meets production constraints: checkout rules, discount logic, database-heavy workflows, and app architecture that has to survive real merchant operations.

selected case files

Production work for real commerce constraints.

01Checkout scheduling system

Delivery Date Omega

Problem

Merchants needed precise delivery date and time control across blockout dates, lead-time, cutoff rules, and shipping-method-specific schedules.

System approach

Designed merchant configuration, Shopify API integration, checkout-facing logic, and production data flows around operational scheduling.

Outcome

Moved delivery planning from a fragile storefront detail into a checkout system merchants can trust under real constraints.

02Purchase limit engine

Pareto Limit Purchase

Problem

Purchase restrictions had to enforce min/max quantity, cart totals, and product-specific limits without creating invalid checkout paths.

System approach

Built validation boundaries, merchant-facing rule modules, and Shopify Functions enforcement designed around bypass resistance.

Outcome

Supported precise limit enforcement while keeping the implementation maintainable for product iteration.

03Promotion architecture

Custom Discount Engine

Problem

Discount requirements grew beyond simple coupons and needed a system that could model nuanced merchant logic.

System approach

A layered discount architecture with explicit inputs, clear execution paths, and production-safe configuration.

Outcome

Created a stronger base for campaign logic, merchant experimentation, and long-term app extensibility.
