About

The specialist most e-commerce businesses cannot find — but desperately need

I operate at a rare intersection: deep e-commerce strategy combined with the technical ability to build AI systems that connect to real business data. Most consultants offer one or the other. I deliver both, which means clients work with one person who understands the full picture — from why a checkout is losing conversions to how an AI layer can automate the support and follow-up that recaptures those customers.

My background spans multi-platform e-commerce — Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop — and extends into Python-based backend systems for AI-powered automation, retrieval pipelines, and API integrations. I have built and optimised stores, executed paid advertising campaigns, deployed Klaviyo email systems, and developed AI tools that reduce manual workload for e-commerce operations.

I work exclusively on a remote basis with brands, agencies, and founders who are serious about measurable growth. Every engagement begins with a rigorous diagnosis before any execution takes place.

Platform-agnostic expertise

Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, PrestaShop — I work across all major platforms, not just one. No lock-in to a single ecosystem.

Full-funnel, not just one layer

From traffic acquisition through to post-purchase retention and AI automation — I see and optimise every stage of the customer lifecycle.

AI built for e-commerce, not demos

I build AI systems connected to actual business data — product catalogues, order histories, customer records — not generic chatbots.

Outcomes, not deliverables

Every engagement is measured by revenue, conversion rate, and customer LTV — not by the number of tasks completed or reports submitted.

The Challenge

A fashion brand was converting less than 1.2% of its traffic despite strong social referral volume. Cart abandonment was sitting at 78%. A full CRO audit was commissioned to identify the root causes and implement structural improvements.

Approach

  • Full UX audit using heatmaps, session recordings, and customer journey analysis
  • Product page redesign with trust signals — reviews, size guides, and returns policy above the fold
  • Checkout simplified from four steps to two with one-click upsells at cart stage
  • Mobile experience rebuilt from scratch — 74% of traffic was on mobile
  • A/B tested hero banners and CTA formats, deployed best-performing combination
  • Sticky add-to-cart bar, low-stock indicators, and delivery urgency signals added

The Challenge

The client was running broad Meta campaigns with a 1.4× ROAS — well below break-even. Ad creative was generic, there was no retargeting structure, and the Google Ads account had never been properly configured for e-commerce intent.

Approach

  • Rebuilt the full campaign architecture using a three-tier funnel: cold audiences, warm retargeting, and cart abandoner recovery
  • Developed new ad creative briefs — UGC-style video, carousel, and high-converting static formats
  • Launched TikTok campaigns targeting 18–34 demographic with 20% of budget allocated to creative testing
  • Deployed Google Shopping and Search campaigns for high-intent product keywords
  • Configured all Pixel events correctly — enabling algorithmic learning and ROAS optimisation
  • Built lookalike audiences from the top 5% of purchasers by lifetime value

Overview

Designed and deployed a structured email onboarding sequence for a SaaS product, guiding new users from signup through to activation. The flow was built to reduce churn at the critical early-stage window where most SaaS products lose users.

Approach

  • Mapped the full user journey from signup to first meaningful product action
  • Designed a 7-email onboarding sequence with conditional branching based on user behaviour
  • Each email addressed a specific barrier to activation — account setup, first use, value realisation
  • Integrated with the product's API to trigger emails based on in-app events, not just time delays
  • A/B tested subject lines and send timing, deploying the highest-performing variants

Overview

A Shopify store was failing all three Core Web Vitals metrics — directly impacting both Google search ranking and on-site conversion rate. A complete technical performance audit was conducted and all issues resolved, bringing every metric into the passing range.

Fixes Applied

  • LCP resolved by optimising the largest above-fold image — correct format, preloading, and CDN delivery
  • CLS resolved by adding explicit dimension attributes to all images and embeds
  • INP resolved by deferring non-critical JavaScript and removing render-blocking third-party scripts
  • Font loading optimised using font-display:swap and preconnect directives
  • App scripts audited — three redundant Shopify apps removed, reducing total JavaScript payload by 40%

Overview

Selected store design and development projects spanning one-product stores, full niche store builds, and high-converting product page designs. Each store was built with conversion architecture as the primary design principle — structure, hierarchy, and trust signals before aesthetics.

Design Principles Applied

  • Above-fold clarity — product, price, and primary CTA visible without scrolling
  • Trust signal placement — reviews, guarantees, and delivery information in the decision zone
  • Mobile-first responsive design — layout built for mobile and adapted upward
  • Minimal distraction architecture — navigation and page elements that guide rather than compete
  • Speed-optimised assets — all images compressed, lazy-loaded, and served via CDN

How I work

The Engagement Process

Every project follows the same four-stage framework. Diagnosis before action. Measurement throughout. Compounding improvement over time.

01

Audit & Diagnose

A complete review of traffic, funnel performance, UX, ads, email, and technical health — identifying exactly where revenue is being lost before any work begins.

02

Prioritise by Impact

All findings are ranked by impact-to-effort ratio. The highest-leverage fixes are addressed first so results are visible within weeks, not months.

03

Execute & Test

Every change is implemented with testing discipline. Nothing is assumed to work — winning approaches are scaled, underperforming ones are removed quickly.

04

Report & Compound

Structured reporting with clear business context — not raw numbers. Each cycle builds on the previous, compounding improvements across the full customer lifecycle.

Client feedback

What Clients Say

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Fatai identified problems in our store that we had been unable to diagnose for over a year. The conversion rate improvement was measurable within three weeks of implementation. Reporting was clear and communication was consistently professional throughout."

M
Marcus T.
Founder, Fashion E-commerce Brand
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The paid ads restructure was exactly what our account needed. We went from barely breaking even on Meta to a consistent 6× ROAS within six weeks. The TikTok campaigns he built became our most efficient acquisition channel. Exceptional strategic thinking."

S
Sarah K.
Head of Marketing, Home Goods Brand
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The Klaviyo automation system Fatai built now accounts for over a third of our monthly revenue entirely on autopilot. The abandoned cart flow alone recovered its cost within the first week of going live. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

Frequently asked questions

Common Questions

Answers to questions that most clients ask before starting an engagement. If yours is not here, reach out directly.

Yes. I work across all major e-commerce platforms — Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento (Adobe Commerce), BigCommerce, PrestaShop, and Wix eCommerce. The strategies I apply are platform-agnostic because the underlying principles of conversion, retention, and customer behaviour do not change between platforms.
Every engagement begins with a diagnostic audit before any execution takes place. I review your store, analytics, ad accounts, and email system to identify the highest-leverage opportunities. From there, I present a prioritised roadmap and we agree on scope. I then work either on a project basis — defined deliverables with a fixed timeline — or as a retained partner with ongoing monthly involvement.
For conversion and UX work, measurable changes in key metrics are typically visible within two to four weeks of implementation. Paid advertising improvements are often visible within the first week of a restructured campaign. Email automation results accumulate over 30–60 days as flows build volume. SEO and content work operates on a longer timeline — three to six months for significant organic traffic growth.
Pricing depends on the scope and nature of the engagement. Standalone projects such as a UX audit, an ad account restructure, or a Klaviyo flow build are quoted at a fixed price. Ongoing retained engagements are quoted at a monthly rate. I do not charge hourly for most work. All pricing is discussed transparently before any commitment is made — contact me to discuss your specific requirements.
Both. For early-stage stores, the focus is on building the right foundation — store architecture, tracking setup, and initial customer acquisition channels. For established brands, the work shifts toward optimisation, scaling, and automation. The approach differs significantly between the two, and I tailor the engagement accordingly.
The AI systems I build are specifically designed for e-commerce businesses. The most common applications are AI-powered customer support systems connected to your product catalogue and FAQs, automated product recommendation engines, and backend workflows that reduce manual operations. These are not generic chatbot tools — they are systems built with Python and connected to your actual store data via API. Whether they are relevant depends on your current operational volume and growth stage. I can advise on this during an initial consultation at no charge.
Both models are available. I can take direct management access to your Meta, TikTok, or Google Ads accounts and handle the campaign build, optimisation, and reporting end-to-end. Alternatively, if you have an in-house team or an existing agency, I can provide strategic oversight and audit existing campaigns to identify what needs to change. The right model depends on your situation and we discuss this before any engagement begins.
Yes. I work exclusively on a remote basis and am available to clients in the US, UK, Europe, and globally. I am comfortable working across time zones and maintain structured, asynchronous communication practices that suit distributed teams. Response time is typically within 24 hours on business days.
