My role, stated plainly
I would rather state this here than have it surface on a technical call: I was a contributing engineer on this migration, not the lead. The replatform of longhorntactical.com from Volusion to Shopify was led by others, and I worked on a defined slice of it.
My slice was storefront build work: reusable theme components in Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and migrating legacy product structures into components that could support scalable storefront updates going forward.
What I took from it
Working inside someone else's migration plan is its own skill, and it is most of what agency overflow work looks like: picking up scoped tickets in an unfamiliar codebase, matching existing conventions, and shipping without needing the whole context handed over first.
