I'm Oliver Wilson, a Web Developer from the UK.

Normally people put lots of interesting facts and information in their GitHub profile readme, but I've already built my own personal website where you can find loads of information about myself, my educational background, my work experience and the cool projects that I've worked on; so as a true software engineer, I am going to be DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and keep those details in one place.

Please check out my personal website www.oliverwilson.dev 🙂.
