Top SchoolNikki Veen is a Senior Software Engineer based in Chicago with 10 years of experience building full‑stack web applications, currently contributing at Otus. She brings a practical mix of Ruby on Rails and modern front-end work (Vue.js) from agency, bootcamp, and apprenticeship projects, including CMS, e-commerce, and API integrations with Twilio, SendGrid, and Braintree. A former customer-service professional, Nikki pairs strong technical craft with clear client communication and team collaboration—skills she honed leading sprints and teaching coding to students. Outside of work she’s an avid traveler and cook, and her ongoing habit of learning new tools and sports mirrors how she approaches engineering: curious, social, and hands-on.
