Welcome to my profile page :) I am Rafał Gicgier, an experienced Web Developer from Lodz, Poland with more than 9 years of experience with WordPress.
I am wordpress.org plugin creator, codecanyon plugin creator and a blogger, who’s joined Codeable in 2019.
➤ Informal Description (a little bit about my work habits)
- I am a friendly, open-minded and experienced programmer willing to deliver a high quality, scalable solution to the clients I work with.
- I like to plan the project, hence expect me to ask a lot of questions throughout the whole development.
- I appreciate ongoing and clear communication, which I believe helps in building a healthy relationship.
- I usually need some time to think things through. So, I’d rather avoid ASAP projects.
- I like to work on mid-sized projects the most, although I am open to any kind of work when it comes to the project size.

➤ Other (a little bit about my hobbies)
I love WordPress for 11 years where I started my first, personal blog. I like the platform’s availability, extensibility, ease of use and scalability. I like to blog as I can help the others out: WP doin.
Privately, given my sports background I exercise a lot, doing all sorts of activities from Martial Arts (boxing is my background), through gym, swimming and acrobatics– healthy body, healthy mind – that’s what I believe.
I am also a book lover and if you read a lot like I do feel free to add me on services like goodreads
Outside of that I love traveling and have traveled a lot of Europe already, have been living in Portugal and Northern Ireland for a long while.
Finally, I take care of my lonely two grandmothers, given the fact some of my family lives abroad.
Customer reviews
Rafal is the best, don't ever let him go! I will definitely request his assistance for all my development needs. What a brilliant developer!
Rafal came with a comprehensive plan, executed it and spared no effort in trying to solve unexpected issues.
This was an investigational project and we will now proceed to implementation work. Good communication, so happy thus far.
did exactly as i wanted and edited some extra work!
Rafal did a good job clarifying what I was looking for. He did the work quickly and accurately. He made a couple of little adjustments quickly when I requested them.
