A Shopify Plus developer for DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland brands — government-adjacent commerce, association merch + content, B2B with FedRAMP-aware engineering, Section 508 accessibility from day one.
§ 01 · dc shopify context
Government-adjacent. Compliance-aware.
DC Shopify work is shaped by adjacency to the federal economy — associations and think tanks selling memberships and publications, B2B SaaS that touches government data, contractor brands going direct, and DTC brands with disproportionately professional buyers. Section 508 accessibility is non-negotiable on most DC engagements; FedRAMP awareness is occasionally required even for adjacent commerce. WCAG 2.1 AA is the baseline; on government-tied engagements we treat WCAG 2.2 AAA as the working target.
