Nivesh Saharan · Full-stack engineer & founder · Gurugram, India

Senior full-stack engineering for Shopify brands, founders and product teams. 

14 years in, I still ship the code myself: Shopify apps and storefronts, custom web platforms, mobile apps and EVM products — first as a three-time founder, now as the senior execution layer for brands and teams that need things built properly.

Long-term partners since 2017

01Services

Three tracks. One senior pair of hands.

Implementation-first engagements, not strategy decks. Each track comes with clear scope, milestones and launch support.

02Selected work

Partnerships measured in years, not sprints.

Most of my clients have worked with me for years: storefronts that keep converting through campaign season, apps that keep shipping, and operations that stop needing manual rescue.

By the numbers

Built to last, measured in years.

The numbers that matter in client work are not vanity metrics. They are how long people keep working with you, and how much of what you shipped is still running.

03Products

Things I made, not just made for others.

2 products live today — Payback on iOS, Android and the web as OweJar, and Hoursmith for time tracking and invoicing — plus 9 public Shopify apps shipped as a founder. Building your own products keeps you honest about what “done” means.

04How we work

Clear scope, weekly demos, no surprises.

The same four-step rhythm whether it is a two-week fix or a year-long rebuild. It keeps live stores stable and keeps you in control.

  1. 01

    Discovery & audit

    A short call, then a look at the code, theme or infrastructure you already have. We agree on outcomes before anything is built.

  2. 02

    Spec with milestones

    A written technical specification with sequencing, dependencies and business impact, so you know what ships when.

  3. 03

    Build in weekly demos

    Staging-first implementation with QA across devices, buyer journeys and edge cases. You see progress every week, not at the end.

  4. 04

    Launch, harden, support

    Controlled rollout with analytics checks and an iteration backlog. Many partnerships continue as ongoing execution retainers.

05Writing

Notes from the workbench.

Practical write-ups on Shopify, Laravel, JavaScript, Rust and the servers underneath. Written for engineers who have to ship on Monday.

06About

Engineer first, founder three times, partner for the long run.

I started writing PHP and JavaScript for agency clients in 2012, co-founded Yopify, Centire and Sellify Apps, and spent six years building Shopify apps that merchants installed by the thousands. Since 2020 I have worked independently with a small number of brands and product teams who want one senior engineer they can rely on.

My style is pragmatic: define constraints early, keep the architecture clean, ship in increments and protect quality with disciplined execution. The rest of the time you will find me on a bicycle, a scooter or in a bakery somewhere in Gurugram.

Taking on new projects

Let’s build something that lasts.

Tell me about the storefront, product or platform you’re working on. A 30-minute call is usually enough to map the first steps.
