My name is Joseph McDermott, a senior solutions architect with expertise in Magento, Shopify and BigCommerce. I also have specialist knowledge of On-Site Search, A.I. and Natural Language Processing.
I have thirteen years’ experience leading software engineering projects, converting complex problems into elegant technical solutions. I take a pragmatic approach to any project no matter how big or small; validating problems, identifying relevant solutions and analysing risk to achieve the desired business objectives by the most appropriate method.
Joseph is able to simplify complex problems and executes in a controlled and efficient manner. He is like a “Swiss Army Knife” and hence, a real asset for any dev team.

I have the technical expertise to lead development teams and the communication skills to help non-technical stakeholders understand the approach being taken. I have all of the major official certifications for the Magento ecommerce platform in both development and solutions architect capacities, including:
- Adobe Certified Expert Magento Commerce Business Practitioner
- Adobe Certified Expert Magento Commerce Developer
- Magento Solution Specialist
- Magento Professional Developer
Joseph’s adaptability and ability to manage not just his own deliverables but also those of a wider development team, makes him a valuable asset to any team or project.
