Introduction
Yuvraj Raulji — E-commerce Technology Consultant & Strategist
I’ve spent 9+ years building commerce platforms for B2B, B2C, D2C and marketplace businesses — Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, and headless storefronts on Next.js and React.
The work rarely stops at the platform. It runs down into server infrastructure, caching, database and search performance, and back up through analytics, tracking and technical SEO — because those are the layers that decide whether a commerce site actually holds up under load and converts what it attracts.
More recently that includes deciding where generative and agentic AI genuinely change a commerce operation, and where they are an expensive distraction. Both answers come up regularly.

Expertise
Strategic Capabilities
Fourteen connected disciplines — from commercial strategy through architecture, platforms, engineering and AI. Most engagements draw on several at once, which is usually the point.
E-commerce Technology Strategy
I map commercial goals to a technology plan — platform selection, build-vs-buy, phasing and total cost — so the stack follows the business case instead of the other way round.
- Platform Selection
- Roadmapping
- Technical Due Diligence
Digital Transformation
Strategic modernization roadmaps that replace legacy stacks with cloud-native, API-first ecosystems — sequenced so trading continues throughout the migration.
- Legacy Migration
- Process Redesign
- Phased Rollout
Enterprise Commerce Architecture
System design for multi-store, multi-currency and B2B commerce — data models, integration boundaries and service contracts that stay maintainable as catalogues and order volume grow.
- Multi-store
- B2B Workflows
- ERP & PIM Integration
Magento 2 & Adobe Commerce
Enterprise Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce builds — custom modules, multi-store setups, B2B workflows and the performance engineering that keeps large catalogues fast.
- Custom Modules
- Multi-store
- Adobe Commerce
Shopify & Shopify Plus
High-growth Shopify Plus ecosystems for premium storefronts — international scaling, theme architecture, app integration and conversion-led merchandising.
- Shopify Plus
- Liquid & Hydrogen
- International
Headless & Composable Commerce
API-first commerce layers built on Next.js, GraphQL and composable services — decoupling the storefront so front-end iteration stops waiting on back-end release cycles.
- Next.js
- GraphQL
- PWA Studio
Modern Web Architecture
Production front-end architecture in React and Next.js — typed, componentized, and structured so the codebase stays maintainable years after launch rather than being rewritten.
- React
- Next.js
- GraphQL
WordPress & WooCommerce
Custom WordPress and WooCommerce builds — bespoke themes, plugin development, checkout and catalogue customization, plus the hardening and performance tuning these stacks usually arrive without.
- WordPress
- WooCommerce
- Custom Plugins
Server & Cloud Infrastructure
End-to-end provisioning on AWS EC2, RDS and S3 with Nginx, Varnish and Redis — production environments for Magento 2, WordPress and WooCommerce, built to be reproducible.
- AWS
- Nginx & Varnish
- Redis
Performance Engineering
Code profiling, caching layers, CDN configuration, image pipelines and database tuning — measured against Core Web Vitals rather than synthetic scores alone.
- Core Web Vitals
- Caching
- Database Tuning
E-commerce SEO & Growth
Technical SEO for large catalogues — crawlability, indexation, structured data, category and product optimization, and the internal linking that compounds organic revenue.
- Technical SEO
- Structured Data
- Indexation
Analytics & Measurement
Engineer-grade measurement — GA4 e-commerce events, GTM dataLayer design and server-side conversion tracking, so reporting reflects what actually happened.
- GA4
- GTM & dataLayer
- Conversions API
Generative AI & Automation
Applied generative AI for content workflows, product discovery and internal operations, wired into real systems through n8n and API integrations rather than left as demos.
- OpenAI APIs
- n8n
- Content Workflows
Agentic AI & AI Agents
Where generative AI produces output, agentic AI reasons, plans and executes multi-step tasks inside defined systems — with explicit scope, tool access and human checkpoints.
- Agent Architecture
- Tool Use
- Workflow Automation
Most projects start with a conversation about where the current stack is holding the business back.
Infrastructure
Server Infrastructure & Performance Engineering
Commerce performance is an architecture problem before it is a code problem. This is the stack I work across, and the layers where load is actually won or lost.
Request path, top to bottom
Frontend
What the customer touches — rendering, routing and asset delivery.
- Next.js
- React
- PWA Studio
- CDN
Application Layer
Business logic, checkout, catalogue and integration surface.
- PHP
- PHP-FPM
- Node.js
- Magento 2
Cache
Absorbs repeat load before it ever reaches PHP or the database.
- Redis
- Varnish
- Full-page Cache
Database
Transactional store — indexing, query plans and replication.
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- Query Optimization
Search
Catalogue search and faceted navigation at catalogue scale.
- Elasticsearch
- Indexing Strategy
- Faceted Search
Infrastructure
The ground everything runs on — provisioning, deployment, recovery.
- Linux
- Nginx
- Apache
- Docker
- CI/CD
Performance engineering
Work is measured against Google’s published Core Web Vitals thresholds for a “good” experience. These are the industry targets, not measurements of this page.
- LCP
- < 2.5s
- Largest Contentful Paint
- INP
- < 200ms
- Interaction to Next Paint
- CLS
- < 0.1
- Cumulative Layout Shift
Server & Application
PHP-FPM tuning, opcode caching, worker sizing and request profiling to cut time-to-first-byte.
Database
Slow-query analysis, index design and schema tuning so catalogue and order queries stay flat as volume grows.
Caching Strategy
Full-page, block and object caching layered so invalidation is predictable rather than accidental.
Search
Index structure and query shaping to keep faceted navigation responsive on large catalogues.
Frontend
Critical path, bundle size, image pipelines and font loading — measured against real-user data, not lab scores alone.
Scalability
Load characterisation and capacity planning ahead of campaigns, migrations and seasonal peaks.
Slow checkout, failing migrations, a database that buckles under campaign traffic — these are usually diagnosable in a single conversation.
Measurement
Analytics & Tracking
Engineer-grade measurement for digital commerce. Most tracking problems are not reporting problems — they are implementation problems that surface months later as numbers nobody trusts.
GA4 E-commerce Events
The full purchase funnel instrumented as spec-compliant events — item lists, add-to-cart, checkout steps, purchase — with consistent item payloads.
Drop-off becomes attributable to a step instead of a guess.
GTM & dataLayer Design
A documented dataLayer contract implemented at the template level, so tags read structured data rather than scraping the DOM.
Tags survive redesigns instead of breaking silently on deploy.
Meta Pixel & Conversions API
Browser pixel paired with server-side CAPI, deduplicated by event ID and enriched with hashed customer parameters.
Recovers conversions lost to ad blockers and cookie restrictions.
TikTok & Snapchat Pixels
Channel pixels mapped to the same event taxonomy as GA4 and Meta, rather than each platform defining its own truth.
Channel reporting becomes comparable instead of contradictory.
Product Analytics
Mixpanel event modelling for behavioural questions GA4 answers poorly — cohorts, retention and feature-level funnels.
Shows why users churn, not just that they did.
Engagement Platforms
WebEngage, MoEngage and HubSpot wired to the same event stream that powers reporting, including identity resolution.
Lifecycle campaigns trigger on real behaviour, not stale segments.
Payment Gateway Tracking
Reconciling gateway callbacks against front-end purchase events to catch orders that complete off-site or after redirect.
Closes the gap between analytics revenue and actual settled revenue.
Performance Tracking
Real-user Core Web Vitals collected per template and correlated with conversion rate.
Turns performance work into a revenue argument rather than a score.
Organic Growth
E-commerce SEO & Organic Growth
Organic performance on a commerce site is decided by architecture, rendering and speed long before it is decided by content. I work on SEO from that end first.
Technical SEO
Crawl budget, render behaviour, status codes, redirects and log-file analysis — the layer most catalogue sites lose rankings to without noticing.
Crawlability & Indexation
Controlling what gets crawled and what deserves to be indexed: faceted navigation, parameter handling, pagination and thin-page suppression.
Category & Product SEO
Category pages treated as the primary ranking asset, with product templates that scale metadata and copy without duplicating it.
Structured Data
Product, Offer, Breadcrumb and Organization markup that validates and matches on-page reality, so rich results hold rather than flicker.
Internal Linking
Deliberate link architecture between hubs, categories and content so authority reaches the pages that actually convert.
Platform SEO
The platform-specific traps — Magento layered navigation, Shopify collection URLs, WooCommerce permalink and pagination behaviour.
Why it is never only an SEO problem
Technology
Rendering and platform behaviour decide what Google can see.
Architecture
URL and category structure is information architecture.
Performance
Core Web Vitals are a ranking and conversion input.
Analytics
Measurement proves which organic work paid.
Content
Coverage and intent matching drive qualified traffic.
Conversion
Traffic without conversion is a cost, not a result.
If organic traffic has plateaued despite the content work, the cause is usually further down the stack.
Generative AI
Generative AI for E-commerce & Digital Transformation
The useful question is not what a model can generate — it is which parts of a commerce operation are bottlenecked by writing, classifying or summarising at volume. Those are the parts worth automating.
AI Strategy
Deciding where AI genuinely changes unit economics and where it is an expensive distraction — before any build starts.
Content Workflows
Product copy, category descriptions and metadata generated against brand rules, with human review kept in the loop.
Product Discovery
Semantic search, attribute enrichment and recommendation logic that help customers find products the catalogue already has.
Customer Experience
Assisted support and pre-sales answers grounded in real product data, so responses stay accurate rather than plausible.
AI Analytics
Turning reporting into questions a merchandiser can ask in plain language, answered from the warehouse rather than guessed.
AI Operations
Back-office automation — data cleanup, catalogue QA, exception handling — where volume makes manual work the bottleneck.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation
Generative AI
Generates. You give it a prompt, it returns content — text, code, an image, a summary.
Agentic AI
Reasons, plans and executes. You give it a goal, and it works through steps using tools it is permitted to call — inside a defined system.
How an agent actually runs
Goal
A defined objective with explicit constraints and success criteria.
Plan
The agent decomposes the goal into ordered, checkable steps.
Act
Execution through a fixed set of tools and APIs it is permitted to call.
Observe
Results are verified against the criteria, and the plan is revised.
Checkpoint
A person approves anything consequential before it takes effect.
Scope is the whole discipline. I build agents with an explicit tool set, defined boundaries and a human checkpoint before anything consequential commits — not systems that run a business unsupervised.
Where they apply
Shopping Agents
Guided product selection across large or technical catalogues.
Sales Agents
Qualification and quote preparation inside defined B2B rules.
Customer Service Agents
Order, returns and status handling against real system data.
Analytics Agents
Recurring analysis and anomaly reporting on commerce data.
SEO Agents
Crawl, audit and content-gap analysis at a cadence humans will not sustain.
Ops Agents
Catalogue QA, data reconciliation and exception routing.
Most AI conversations start with the wrong question. The useful one is which workflow is expensive enough to be worth changing.
