Hi, I'm Olly.

I'm Olly! I'm currently working as a SWE @ Collective Benefits striving to help the lives of people though the way I best know how; delivering quality, stable and beautiful software.

Founded ts-rest to help deliver type safe APIs to teams across the world, helping them focus on what matters most.

My Principles

• Keep it simple
• Collaboration over being a individual contributor
• Tailor your project to your needs not your desires
• Actively seek out and destroy obstacles to productivity
• Avoid preemptive optimisations
• In person (or video) chats > messaging

Spicy Takes 🌶️

• Monoliths are underrated
• Servers are great
• Scrum is for estimation, not targets
• Teams of engineers not programmers
