Welcome! I’m Richard Dada, and this is Triple 8 Labs. Here, I’m building a playground to explore my interests in technology, communication and data.
Before going further, a small note on formalities: by using this site, you confirm acceptance of the terms and conditions. If you’re curious about how your data is handled you can also read my promise not to spy.
I’m the product of a blend of cultures, countries and international influences, currently living in the Netherlands. My professional background is the design, creation and maintenance of bespoke IT platforms in financial environments. Beyond technology, I find it rewarding to help others overcome challenges and build confidence in their abilities which has led me to engage more intentionally with coaching and leadership.

When not relaxing, I’m happiest exploring, navigating complexity, building systems and reflecting on what comes next. At Triple 8 Labs, I run experiments at the intersection of technology, communication, and data; sometimes for fun, often to learn and occasionally as the basis for something worth monetising.
To support this work I share clearly identified affiliate links to products that I support as well as other ads, and you’re always welcome to buy me a coffee!
I hope your time here feels relaxed, enjoyable and worth returning to. If you have a question, an idea or something sparks your curiosity, you’re welcome to inquire.
