For Teams
An experienced developer
for your existing team.
I’m Karim Tarek, a backend and full-stack developer with more than 17 years in web development.
I join existing teams to build application features, connect systems and improve software already in production. You work with me directly through Goodharbour.
Where I can contribute
- Ruby on Rails applications and backend development.
- APIs, webhooks and integrations between systems.
- Background jobs, data processing and operational workflows.
- Existing application fixes, upgrades and feature development.
- Shopify themes, apps and connected ecommerce systems.
Relevant experience
I built and maintain FieldsRaven and StoreAudit. Both involve Rails applications, background processing and external integrations. StoreAudit uses PostgreSQL and Hotwire, with background scans, payments and downloadable reports.
I’ve also worked on dozens of Shopify stores since 2017, across direct client projects and agency work. At PIVOT, a Shopify Plus agency partner, I contributed to more than 20 DTC storefronts over nearly three years, working within existing codebases and small development teams.
Working within your team
I learn the codebase, agree on responsibilities, and follow your review and delivery process. I share progress and raise problems early.
For agency work, I respect the existing client relationship and coordinate with your lead.
“Karim worked with us as a contractor for ~2 years. I was always impressed with his punctuality, organization, problem solving and ability to think outside the box. He was never afraid to push back and make suggestions which would always benefit the projects we worked on together.”
