Get to know me better
I'm Ayomide Akintimehin, a Founder & Software Engineer based in Berlin. I am currently building heyFinance and collaborating with teams to craft modern, user-friendly SaaS products.
I began my professional journey in Lagos, Nigeria, in March 2020, building web applications for a healthTech startup. That experience shaped my belief in clean code, thoughtful design, and building for people.
Early on, I learned how to translate product ideas into real software, working closely with product managers and designers to bridge the gap between vision and execution. That collaboration taught me how essential clear communication is to building great products.
Over the past 6 years, I've worked across SaaS and FinTech, building dashboards, and customer-facing platforms for startups and growing businesses. I approach each project with a focus on clarity, performance, and user experience.
I'm also the founder of heyFinance, a financial management platform that helps young couples align on money and plan their finances with clarity and confidence. Building it from scratch has deepened my perspective, not just as an engineer, but as a product owner who is learning and understanding what it takes to ship and grow a real product.
Today, I bring a mix of technical depth and product thinking to every project. While I'm bootstrapping heyFinance, I'm also available for short-term freelance or contract work with teams building modern SaaS applications. I care about the user, the code, and the impact. If you're working on something that matters, I'd love to collaborate.

I have to say it’s been a privilege to see the immense growth in Ayomide’s career in real-time. Our time together was his first experience as a software engineer, and his determination, can-do attitude and approach to every task, and life in general was inspiring.
Since then, we have worked on a couple of projects together and built a good friendship. Ayomide always finds a way. His goal is always to make the lives of potential users as easy as possible, and he is always upbeat. It is always astonishing working with him.
There was a time when the frontend suffered from performance issues, including slow load times and a large bundle size. Ayomide dedicated significant time and effort to resolving these challenges, and the results were excellent. He put in long, sleepless nights and carried out in-depth research to address the performance challenges, demonstrating a strong sense of ownership, which is central to his work ethic.

Ayomide was super responsive, and always had a positive and can-do attitude during our time together on the project. He was very quick to adapt to the structure of the team, and was always eager to try new technologies and workflows that could improve the experience of our customers.
We worked together for just 6 months, and that has formed a solid foundation to a wonderful friendship. He is always inspiring and ready to take on new challenges. Ayomide is an excellent addition to any team
