# Selected work

Five stories, each told the same way: the context, the problem, what I did, the stack and how it turned out, with the one-line takeaway first.


Magento 2 → Shopify migration

## [Event Network: Magento 2 → Shopify](https://www.michael-kuhlman.com/work/event-network-shopify-migration)

I led the company's move of its storefronts for museums, zoos and cultural attractions from Magento 2 to Shopify: the data model, the SEO redirect map, the integrations and the cutover.

High-profile, high-trust stores

## [The Obama Foundation and the American Museum of Natural History](https://www.michael-kuhlman.com/work/obama-foundation-and-amnh)

Trusted with two of the most visible stores in the portfolio, I worked directly with executive leadership at the Obama Foundation and the American Museum of Natural History, and every change to their stores went through review and a deploy I owned.

Engineering leadership

## [Leading the team and the release process](https://www.michael-kuhlman.com/work/engineering-leadership)

I led a team of about five developers and owned how code reached 18 live stores: every pull request reviewed, every deploy mine, and checkout tested on staging before it shipped.

Portfolio consolidation

## [One platform for the long tail of partner stores](https://www.michael-kuhlman.com/work/storefront-consolidation)

I replaced a long tail of underperforming partner storefronts with one shared storefront platform, and partner sales grew sharply.

AI as leverage

## [Atlas: sandboxed AI workspaces](https://www.michael-kuhlman.com/work/atlas-ai-workspaces)

I built Atlas so non-technical owners can safely change their own sites with Claude Code and Codex, each in a strictly sandboxed workspace; it runs in production today.
