About Håvard Lindanger Benum

Benum Labs was founded by Håvard L. Benum as an independent playground for designing, building, and shipping digital products.

With a background in social anthropology combined with years of practical experience as a developer and tech lead, Håvard brings a human-centric perspective to software. He understands that successful systems require more than just clean code—they require a deep, empathetic understanding of how people actually work, and the organizational context the software lives in.

Instead of chasing fleeting technology trends or overcomplicating solutions, Håvard focuses on engineering software that is simple, secure, and easy to maintain. By combining years of software delivery experience with highly efficient, modern workflows, Benum Labs can move rapidly from an idea to a working product, without cutting corners on quality.

Benum Labs operates as a focused product studio that takes on selected client projects. When you work with us, you don't deal with project managers or sales reps; you collaborate directly with the person who actually builds the software to solve your specific technical and workflow challenges.
