About
Adam Pitera
Full-stack developer building meaningful technology for communities
My Journey
I'm a full-stack developer with a Master's in Intelligent Systems from University College London and PhD research from Imperial College London.
My recent projects have focused on giving communities a voice - from helping parents share their stories about institutions to enabling local residents to shape their neighbourhood spaces.
This work draws on both my technical background and extensive training in Non-Violent Communication - essential when building platforms that handle sensitive experiences and foster genuine dialogue.
