Senior Developer at Shopify

Lucien worked at Shopify from January 2022 to September 2023, first as a Developer and then promoted to Senior Developer.

He started on the marketplaces team building a backend API to empower marketplaces with Shopify's checkout software — giving the world's best checkout to marketplace partners.

He then transitioned to leading the creation of a native checkout SDK for iOS and Android. This SDK allowed Shopify's partners to integrate checkout natively instead of redirecting users to a webview, which improved conversion rates and reduced integration complexity. The SDK eliminated 75% of partner checkout code, improved conversion rates by over 15%, and reduced loading times by 90%. The solution was initially adopted by Meta-powered applications and later expanded to other major partners.
