👋 Hi, I'm Oliver

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at the University of Southampton (graduating 2027) and founder of Volani Limited, an independent software business established to publish and maintain my commercial and open-source projects.

Through Volani, I've built and continue to operate services including ChatSMS (AI via SMS and Voice calls), and HiberniaVPN (a privacy-first VPN), combining full-stack development with infrastructure and business management.

I love building dependable, well-engineered software and find creating novel solutions to real-world problems the most rewarding part of development.
