Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNik Graf is a founder and freelance consultant based in Vienna with 11 years of experience building full-stack and serverless applications and crafting developer tooling. He combines hands-on front-end expertise in React (including Draft.js plugins, hooks and style-guide tooling) with back-end and AWS serverless work, having contributed to the Serverless Framework and AppSync examples. Nik has a track record of improving developer experience—adding color utilities to styled-components' Polished, refining ReScript docs, and creating pragmatic examples for serverless patterns. He has taught and led workshops at major React conferences and consulted for organizations like AIT and Eversport, translating schema and UX problems into robust GraphQL and React solutions. Comfortable switching between product leadership and code, he founded Serenity after senior roles at Serverless Inc. and early-stage CTO work, bringing entrepreneurial grit to open-source ecosystems. An attention to documentation and usable examples sets him apart: many of his OSS contributions focus on clarity as much as functionality.
