About
Hi, I'm Oliver Thurley. I'm a developer and I like to make things...
I have a background in music and creative coding, and love to immerse myself in technical projects. I am happiest when learning new skills and technologies, or working with others to creatively solve problems.
For the last ten years I have been teaching and researching music technology with a focus on experimental and algorithmic composition. I am ready for a new challenge and looking for opportunities in software development as a career that aligns better with my personal and professional strengths.
