About

Portrait of Benson Craven

I’m Benson, a Frontend Engineer based in Cork. I work on the awkward parts of products: unclear states, dense content, unreliable data and the gap between a design and its working implementation.

I build primarily with React, TypeScript and Next.js, creating thoughtful, reliable digital products from early requirements through to deployment.
