The Lervana logo: a cat on a pink crescent moon

Full-stack developer · Lecturer

Katarzyna Dadek

I have been programming professionally since 2014 and running my own company, Lervana, since 2016. I specialise in web applications: Node.js and NestJS on the backend, React on the frontend.

I take a project through its whole lifecycle, from requirements and Figma mockups, through architecture and implementation, to deployment. I often combine development with leading a team, designing the interface and mentoring.

Since 2020 I have been teaching programming, UX/UI design and project management at universities in Poznań and Głogów, in Polish and in English.
