Shopify Liquid Developer Expert

Worked as a Shopify Liquid developer for Ripple⁺, a UK-based zero-nicotine aromatherapy brand selling rechargeable POD devices and aroma blends, with regular limited-edition artist collaboration drops. Debugged and fixed Shopify Liquid errors affecting the bundle-builder feature, POD flavor variant selection, and drop/collab landing pages. Rebuilt inefficient Liquid loops on collection and bundle pages to reduce load inconsistencies, and cleaned up redundant Liquid code across product templates. Gave particular attention to Liquid logic controlling age-verification and regulatory compliance messaging, given the sensitivity of the product category. Resolved conflicts left behind by previous theme edits while preserving the brand's existing visual identity. Tested each fix carefully against live traffic to avoid disrupting checkout, particularly during high-demand collaboration drops.
