Oliver started programming computers when he was eight. By 16, he had written a million-line operating system, video codec, and web browser—all before Windows 95 came out. At 21, he started his first company and has never worked for anyone since.
Now the founder-CEO of Silktide, Oliver describes the company's mission as "three slightly unreasonable moonshots" to transform the web for the better. Silktide has a physical presence in five countries and is doubling year-over-year.
Oliver's writing on life and technology has reached tens of millions through Forbes, Time, Huffington Post, Lifehacker, and Quora. His ability to distill complex ideas into clear, engaging prose made him a sought-after voice in both tech and personal development.
In 2023, Oliver moved from Nottingham, England to Austin, Texas, quickly becoming a central figure in the local AI community through Age of AI talks and teaching vibe coding.
