CHUBBIES NEEDED RELIABLE ENGINEERING SUPPORT FOR ONGOING SHOPIFY DEVELOPMENT

About Chubbies: Chubbies is a men's apparel brand known for their playful, vibrant shorts and casual wear. Founded with a mission to bring fun back to menswear, they've built a cult following around their bold designs, weekend-ready aesthetic, and community-driven brand personality.

The project: Chubbies needed consistent, reliable engineering support for ongoing Shopify development, maintenance, and feature implementation—a trusted partner who could handle everything from urgent fixes to new feature development while maintaining code quality and clear communication.

We matched them with a developer who could provide flexible, ongoing support without rigid hour commitments, communicate proactively with regular updates and transparent billing, and handle both tactical bug fixes and strategic new feature development.

The challenge was finding someone who could integrate seamlessly into their existing workflows, adapt to fluctuating workload demands (sometimes 40 hours bi-weekly, sometimes 80+ hours monthly), and maintain consistently high quality across years of continuous work through leadership changes and evolving business needs.

Chubbies chose Logan Gelzer, a software engineer and developer who became their go-to Shopify development partner for nearly 5 years, handling hundreds of projects across development, maintenance, optimization, and feature implementation.

Logan provided consistent engineering support across changing leadership, adapted flexibly to variable workload needs and maintained meticulous documentation and communication throughout hundreds of projects.

THE WORK

• New Development: Custom features, integrations, functionality builds
• Maintenance: Bug fixes, optimization, performance improvements
• Technical Support: Google Analytics updates, app integration issues
• Emergency Support: Critical production issues requiring rapid response

Nishant, Joey  and the broader team, they've always been clear about priorities, responsive when I needed feedback, and trusting in my technical recommendations. They also challenged me in several ways that have really helped me grow as a software engineer.The longevity of our partnership speaks to the mutual respect and transparency we built from day one and I am excited to continue to build the best online experience for Chubbies customers."
