Oliver Strange

Hi, I'm Oliver. I'm a full-stack developer proficient in JavaScript, C# and more, with experience developing in professional agile environments.

About me

Throughout school my favourite subject was Computer Science. I loved programming in my free time, even completing work experience at a UX web design company when I was 16. I continued this through university, taking a degree in it at the University of Nottingham. My time there gave me the opportinty to learn a variety of programming languages such as Python, Java and C#, and explore new fields like AI and Android Development. My favourite part of my studies there, however, was always participating in group projects.

Since university, I've been working as a software developer at Ceox Services, developing business applications for public sector clients. I mainly use JavaScript, but I've also had the chance to learn new tools like Azure and NodeJS.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing the guitar. I also love working on side projects (like this one) to learn new languages and frameworks. Take a look at my GitHub to find them!
