Aboutme.
Software developer based in Germany. I build web and mobile apps that just work — clean, fast, and easy to use.
4+ yrs experience
Damilola BadaGermany
I got into software development because I wanted to build things that actually help people.
What started as curiosity is now my profession — building web and mobile apps that just get the job done, without over-complicating things.
These days I work as a Software Developer at adesso, building tailored software for companies and public organisations. Before that I led a small engineering team at apomap — where I learned that clear code and clear communication matter equally.
I believe technology should solve real problems simply and reliably. That belief carries into my own products too — like Passe., a private-by-default travel journal for the trips worth remembering, and ElliesNote, a health companion for people living with energy-limiting chronic conditions.
Every project is a new chance to learn and make a difference, and I'm excited to keep growing — as an engineer, a teammate, and a builder.
