Shipping a new version should be one command
Releasing a new version of a desktop app is a lot of small steps. I wanted it to be one command instead. Here's how the whole thing fits together.

I'm a Senior Android Engineer in Berlin with 6+ years building mobile apps at scale, most recently at Kayak and Zalando (50M+ downloads).
Outside of work, I love learning new things and building solutions.
About me
I'm Oladokun Oladapo, a Senior Android Engineer based in Berlin. Over the past six years I've built and led Android work at Kayak, Zalando and Decagon, from server-driven UI powering millions of users to the automated test frameworks that keep releases fast.
I lean on Jetpack Compose, Kotlin coroutines and flows, and a strong architecture foundation: MVVM, MVI and Clean Architecture. On the side I build my own products, most recently Leovidly, a desktop studio for video creators.

Selected work
Products I've built and shipped.
Leovidly
A desktop studio for video creators
Overview:
A desktop studio for video creators: niche research, scripting, storyboarding, thumbnails and export in one app. It's my own product, built end to end.
Stack:
Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Desktop on the client, with an embedded browser, media pipeline and on-device ML. A Kotlin Spring Boot backend handles auth, billing and AI orchestration. I designed the architecture and shipped it solo.
Let's build something
Have a project, a role, or an idea worth talking about? I'd love to hear it.

Signing and notarizing a Kotlin desktop app for macOS
Starting from what code signing even is, because when I began I didn't know, and every guide assumed I did.
What Leovidly runs on, and why
In case someone's wondering what Leovidly is built on. The few choices I'd defend, and the couple that cost me more than I expected.
Why I am building Leovidly
I set out to write a small tool to automate my B-roll and get back to my real project in a couple of months. It didn't stay small.
