About Me
Meet KaeTheDev
Hi, I’m Shakira but most know me as KaeTheDev. I’m a Detroit-based full-stack developer with a passion for building high-performance Shopify stores that don’t just function, but inspire.
My technical journey began in mobile development and evolved into web engineering, where I now focus on the intersection of clean code, strict accessibility standards, and high-end e-commerce design. I believe that every brand deserves a digital home that is as unique as the artist behind it. Whether I’m auditing a site for conversion or building a custom theme from the ground up, my goal is always to deliver an experience that helps your business scale and your vision shine.
Let’s build something remarkable.
Perfect Your Craft
Starving Artist Design & Development isn’t just a business name, it’s my guiding principle. Every line of code, every design choice, and every audit is approached with a commitment to technical rigor and creative excellence. I believe in practical solutions, transparent communication, and development work that actually impacts your bottom line. Whether we are building a new Shopify store from scratch or optimizing an existing one for speed and accessibility, my focus remains the same: helping you scale your business through the power of thoughtful, reliable craftsmanship.
