Founder · Menelabs

I'm the founder of Menelabs and the builder of Export OrderPro. I design and develop embedded Shopify apps, with a focus on order management workflows, custom reporting, and export automation for merchants who rely on their order data every day.

I started building Export OrderPro after seeing how often merchants hit the ceiling of Shopify's built-in export — needing columns that weren't there, a schedule that didn't exist, or a filter that only half-worked. The app is the tool I would have wanted to find rather than build.

My background is in software development with a focus on the Shopify ecosystem. I build directly inside Shopify Admin using the Shopify App Bridge and Polaris design system, which means everything I ship runs where merchants already work — no new tabs, no separate logins, no context switching.

At Menelabs I keep the team small and the scope focused: one app, done properly. If you have a question about Export OrderPro or an order export workflow you can't figure out, the contact in the nav goes straight to me.
