About

Oliver Benns

Hello

I'm a freelance full stack software engineer with 12 years of experience. I really enjoy working with fast-paced startups where I can ship with speed and deliver value.

I bring a no-nonsense, minimalist engineering approach with full stack capabilities. My expertise in backend systems, frontend development, and visual design allows me to deliver complete solutions without unnecessary complexity - exactly what fast-moving companies need.

Status

After years of building solutions for companies, I'm now transitioning to freelance work and personal projects that allow me to make a direct impact for clients worldwide.

Currently based in London, I’ll be working from Bangkok in the second half of 2025 using remote work as a core strength, regardless of time zones.

Tech Stack

My diverse background has taught me to be ruthlessly pragmatic - selecting the right tool for the right job. Whilst I adapt quickly to any tech stack, my go-to technologies include:
