Software Engineer, UI/UX Enthusiast, and Tech Explorer
Hi, I’m Dana Katisya, a passionate and driven software engineer with a strong foundation in building dynamic web applications using modern technologies like Spring Boot, Vue.js, and Nest.js. My journey into tech has been fueled by curiosity, resilience, and a love for solving real-world problems through code.
In addition to development, I actively engage in UI/UX design using tools such as Figma and Canva, ensuring that the applications I build are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly. I also prioritize quality and reliability through testing, leveraging frameworks like Jest and Mocha to maintain robust and error-resistant codebases.
When I’m not immersed in code, I channel my creativity into entrepreneurial ventures and explore how design and innovation shape user experiences. I’m always open to learning, evolving, and collaborating on projects that push boundaries and drive meaningful impact in tech.
