Oliver Bell

Hi, I'm Oliver 👋

I am an aspiring technology professional with a diverse educational and professional background. I enjoy working on complex problems and leveraging technology to help people succeed.

This website is my digital home. It details my work experince, hosts links to projects I have worked on, and features a simple blog where I ocassionally write.

When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, writing, weightlifting, and connecting with others. I currently hold a BA from the University of California, Berkeley in Political Science and a CompTIA A+ certification.

This website was built using Astro Nano but all content is hand-written and my own.
