Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEd Bentley is a versatile software engineer based in London with 10 years of experience building web and mobile products, currently contributing to Figma’s engineering team. He has a strong frontend focus from roles at Apple and Factual, shipping internal manufacturing web apps and performant React tools as well as client-facing iOS/Android apps. As founder of indie studio Fluke Games he solo-developed a hit mobile title that reached #2 in the US App Store and was featured by Apple, then managed multi-platform ports—evidence of both product instincts and end-to-end delivery. His background spans big-data infrastructure, embedded-like engineering training, and a Cambridge master’s in Electrical and Information Engineering, enabling him to move between frontend UX and backend performance work. Comfortable picking up new stacks quickly, he combines startup grit with experience at large tech firms and an uncommon mix of game-dev product success and manufacturing-facing tooling.
