PROFILE

Lucy Xiang

Lucy Xiang modernized theme management workflows in the Shopify/cli repository by migrating core operations from REST to GraphQL, consolidating API URL construction and authentication into a unified client layer. She refactored the CLI to invoke GraphQL mutations for theme creation, deletion, and updates, improving reliability, performance, and type-safety. Lucy also implemented automatic GraphQL API versioning, removing hardcoded versions to ensure theme creation always uses the latest API surface. Her work, primarily in TypeScript and JavaScript, reduced technical debt, streamlined maintenance, and aligned the CLI with backend changes, demonstrating depth in API integration, CLI development, and GraphQL-based full stack engineering.
