Hello! We invite you to meet.js Katowice #47!
We're meeting again to talk about technology, share knowledge, and spend time in great company.
See you on 26.11.2025 at the Northmill Bank office (Zabrska 17, Katowice - Global Office Park, 8th floor). We're kicking off at 17:30 with networking, and the first presentation starts at 18:00.
Speakers and Topics
1. Kamil Krzywda - "Server-Driven UI in React Native: How our BFF controls the app."
About the speaker: Kamil is an experienced developer specializing in both frontend (React) and backend (NestJS) technologies. Currently employed as a full-stack engineer, he has worked in a wide variety of environments, from small startups to Allegro and Siemens.
About the talk (30 min): Instead of classic SSR, we use Server-Driven UI (SDUI) in React Native. In our presentation, we will show how our Backend for Frontend (BFF) dynamically defines views, and our "Magic Dashboard" library renders them on the client side. This approach enables us to deploy changes and A/B tests without requiring an app update in the store.
2. Adrian Romański - "Accessibility Driven Development"
About the speaker: Adrian's adventure with programming began with C++ in high school. After studying robotics at PJATK and gaining his first professional experience, he changed direction to web development (Java/Spring). A love for Angular made him a full-stack developer today.
He specializes in Component Driven Architecture (Storybook), application optimization, and monorepo architecture (Nx). In the last year, accessibility (A11Y) has become his main interest. After work: a hardcore World of Warcraft raider for over 15 years, an anime fan, and a squash enthusiast.
About the talk (45 min): This presentation will show how the lack of an accessibility-first approach leads to technical debt, code maintenance problems, and a worse UX. Using a developer's story and a menu component as an example, attendees will see how much work is required when accessibility isn't considered from the start. The talk combines storytelling (25%) with live coding (75%), refactoring real code for A11y.
3. Kamil Łazarz - "Code, click, and magic - how MCP is changing the way we create software"
About the speaker: Kamil Łazarz is a Senior Fullstack Engineer with over 14 years of experience in creating modern web and mobile applications. He works with PHP, Node.js, React, React Native, Flutter, Python, TypeScript, and in the machine learning field, combining backend robustness with frontend precision. In his career, he has led both small and large teams, as well as delivered projects as a true one-man-army. An animal lover, cybersecurity enthusiast, and modern technology aficionado.
About the talk (60 min): In a world where code, design, and AI increasingly meet in a single tool, MCP is becoming the missing link between creators and their work environments. I will show how using Cursor, Figma MCP, and other tools, you can connect the worlds of code, design, and management into a coherent, automated workflow. You'll see practical examples and a few tricks that truly make developers' lives easier.
