About
I'm Oli — a software engineer and product developer. Following my degree in Mechanical Engineering, I pursued a career in Product Development where I collaborated closely with Software Engineers to implement new features for a web-based lettings platform. This experience sparked a deep interest in Software Development that led me to return to University. Throughout my career I've bridged the gap from customer issues to product solutions, and have since developed the technical skills required to implement these solutions as a Software Engineer. Outside of work, I am a committed sportsman, having represented multiple University tennis teams and captained a London 6-a-side football team. I also enjoy building electronic Arduino projects, with 3D printed designs, as a hobby.
