Portrait of Utsav Thakur in a dark suit and blue glasses

Hi, I’m Utsav.

I’m a Shopware Developer with 5+ years of experience building scalable e-commerce solutions, custom plugins, themes, integrations and performance-focused solutions. I started building Shopware 6 plugins and themes in 2021, led a development team from 2023 to 2025, and today I lead enterprise e-commerce projects on Shopware 6 and WordPress at 24Infotech.

I talk to clients directly: I gather requirements, set clear expectations and deliver on time, often with several deadlines running in parallel. I review code, mentor developers and know the Shopware ecosystem well.

What I bring to a project

  • Plugins and themes

    Custom Shopware 6 extensions, four of them published in the Shopware Store, and storefront themes shaped around each client’s brand.

  • Speed that sells

    Faster pages, leaner database queries and a smoother checkout. On high-traffic stores I cut load times by 30%.

  • Direct communication

    I work with German clients first-hand, from the first requirement to the production release.

  • Team leadership

    Code reviews, mentoring and shared coding standards that keep a development team consistent.

Shopware 6, inside and out

Shopware is where I spend most of my working day. Choose a part of the platform to see what I do there.

4+ published plugins

Extensions that ship to the Shopware Store

I’ve built more than four Shopware 6 plugins that are published in the Shopware Store. For client projects I design and build custom plugins for checkout, product filtering and API integrations.

src/ExamplePlugin.php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Example\CustomerComment;

use Shopware\Core\Framework\Plugin;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\Plugin\Context\InstallContext;

class CustomerComment extends Plugin
{
    public function install(InstallContext $context): void
    {
        // register custom fields, snippets, mail templates
        parent::install($context);
    }
}
