One of my favorite holiday traditions? Grocery shopping for Thanksgiving with my mom and sister. 

It might sound simple, but it’s become such a special part of our year. We turn a routine trip into a little fun, catching up on life, reminiscing about past holidays, and joking around in the aisles. 

There’s something about those moments together that really grounds me, a reminder of what the season is all about. 

This year, H-E-B sold these adorable Santa hats, and suddenly, the grocery store felt more festive than ever. 

What’s interesting is how H-E-B used branding here, without even putting a logo on the hat. The hat itself captures the spirit of H-E-B and Christmas all in one. Anyone who buys the hat, takes a photo in their store, and posts it on social media is promoting the H-E-B brand naturally, without even realizing it. 

When we saw them on the shelf, we put our hats on right away and couldn’t stop smiling and giggling. It was like a little reminder that the holidays are about joy, connection, and having fun with the people we love. We also got a lot of smiles and compliments from other shoppers who asked where they could find the cute hats! 🤠

So, whether it’s shopping with family, decorating your home, or just taking a moment to breathe and enjoy the season, I hope everyone finds time to cherish those small, meaningful moments. 

What are your favorite traditions that make this time of year special? 

And hey, maybe a simple Santa hat will be part of your tradition too, spreading cheer and maybe a little brand magic along the way. Want to put your brand on a festive hat? DM me to find out how!

I help businesses grow smarter. With over 15 years of experience in e-commerce, digital marketing, and technology, I design strategies that boost performance, streamline operations, and build secure, scalable systems. Whether it's launching a new product, integrating AI-driven features, or overhauling a digital infrastructure, I bring a growth-first mindset to every challenge.

I specialize in end-to-end eCommerce and custom software development, with deep expertise in Shopify (including custom apps and headless storefronts), WordPress/WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce, and mobile-first solutions. My work supports both B2B and B2C brands, ranging from startups to enterprises, handling complex requirements such as global fulfillment, multi-store management, and intelligent product discovery through AI.

Increasingly, I focus on building AI-powered digital agents, recommendation engines, and automated workflows that personalize the customer journey and improve operational efficiency. I also lead the development of custom applications (web and mobile), delivering experiences optimized for performance, scale, and user engagement.

On the backend, I architect modern solutions using GraphQL, REST APIs, and serverless or microservice architectures. I integrate core business systems from ERP (e.g., SAP) and accounting (e.g., QuickBooks) to fraud detection and payment gateways via secure APIs and real-time syncs.

My recent projects include building microservices for financial automation, implementing real-time reporting via Power BI and Snowflake, and integrating AI-driven chat interfaces into Shopify. I leverage Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions and GitLab CI) for fast and reliable deployments, and manage infrastructure as code using Terraform.

My approach is results-driven and business-aligned, always focused on delivering secure, scalable, and intelligent platforms that drive sustainable growth.
