Who is KaeTheDev?

About Me

Hi, I’m Shakira—online, I go by KaeTheDev! I’m the founder of Starving Artist Design & Development, a solo developer and entrepreneur passionate about web development, Shopify, and creating seamless user experiences. Based in Detroit, my self-taught journey began with mobile development and has grown into professional web development with a focus on Shopify themes and e-commerce.

I love sharing honest insights and lessons from real projects as I continue mastering modern web tools and expanding my skill set. When I’m not building stores or writing about my journey, you’ll find me exploring new tech, refining workflows, and connecting with fellow creators. Welcome to my evolving world of design, code, and growth!
