Organisations I have built systems for
Services
Small and mid-sized companies get the same engineering quality I delivered for banks and public authorities, sized for your budget.
Software built around how your company actually works, not the other way around.
Your CRM, ERP, shop, accounting and email finally talk to each other, reliably and server-side.
A senior IT professional on your side, without hiring one. Ongoing, on a monthly retainer.
Typical stackPostgreSQL · Oracle · MySQL · TypeScript · Python · PHP · REST APIs · n8n · Docker, or whatever you already run.
Approach
One person accountable from the first conversation to the system running in production, and beyond.
We start with your business, not with technology. You get a clear, written recommendation: what to build, what to buy, what to leave alone, and what it costs.
I build it myself, in small steps you can see and test. Clean code and documentation you can actually read, so you are never locked in.
I host, monitor and maintain your software on my own managed servers. Updates, backups and fixes are handled, so you can focus on running your business.
For agencies
You own the client relationship, I take care of the technical side: architecture, integrations, custom development and hosting. White-label if you prefer, under your brand, with documentation your clients understand.

About
I’m Damian Gawenda, Dipl. Wirt.-Inform., M.Sc. I have been building business software for more than 20 years: billing systems for Deutsche Bank, workflow platforms for T-Com and T-Systems, quality management for public authorities and an ERP for the flower industry.
For 14 years I also taught database systems at TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences Cologne) and as a guest lecturer in Dortmund, Tampere and Oslo. That is why I can explain what I’m building, and why it matters for your business.
Today I work independently through Damian Gawenda IT Services LLC, for clients in Germany, Poland and internationally. You always work with me directly.
