Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicole Ciemniak is a Freelance Full Stack Developer with nine years of experience building and maintaining web applications, APIs, and backend systems across e-commerce, civic tech, and small business projects. She combines practical Rails and backend expertise with DevOps-savvy deployment work—evident in contributions to the widely used Spree eCommerce platform where she improved image processing, added multi-language support, and smoothed Rails upgrades. Comfortable owning architecture and migrations, she has led large data moves and API design efforts, including a multi-database/Azure migration and a custom REST API with Devise/JWT for role-based access. Nicole prefers partnering with mission-driven organizations and local communities, translating that curiosity into pragmatic features like email schedulers and fine-grained CMS permissions. Based in Lower Silesia, Poland, she brings a hands-on, creative approach to bridging code quality, developer workflows, and user-focused product outcomes. An understated strength is her ability to work across the stack—from database and infrastructure to translations and localization—so globalized apps behave correctly in production.
