Katja Potensky

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at adesso with more than a decade of experience of working in most roles on the technical side of projects of every size.

I'd like to think of myself as focused on simplicity and open minded, though I'm told I sometimes come across as untouchable - if you have any questions please just ask me, I don't bite ;)

When I'm not coding I like to ride rally motorcycles and I've been known to tinker with them from time to time - occasionally even with moderate success.

Wolfram Kriesing

I've been working with JavaScript since before it was cool – co-founding a JavaScript consultancy in 2008, when it was still dismissed as a toy language. That early bet paid off, placing us at the center of JavaScript's rise. In 2016, I started the JavaScript the Language meetup and launched jskatas.org, both focused on deepening understanding of JavaScript through hands-on learning and the ECMAScript spec.

I later led the Speed Team at a high-traffic platform, where we focused on measuring and improving real-world web performance. My work has consistently returned to the fundamentals: fast, lean, understandable code and a strong connection to how the web really works.

Alongside my professional roles, I've created community-driven events like jscraftcamp.org and jscoderetreat.com, centered around software passionates, clean code, and sustainable development practices.

In everything I do, I aim to reduce complexity, rediscover the power of the platform, and help others do more with less.
