In a nutshell:
A software and web development company based in Cardiff.
Region:
Cardiff

My business is called Odyssey, a software and web development company based in Cardiff. We work with other businesses to help them improve their processes by developing custom software for them. We also create websites to help business and individuals improve their online presence.

I am a Software Engineer and started my first business at the age of 18.

As a child I was always curious with how things worked. Always dismantling electronics and taking a look into the inner-workings. This then developed into creating software, just as an personal interest. During high school, I continued to develop my skills in technology. This came with its own challenges. I had two teachers, one, inspired me to develop my passion within the industry. The other almost completely deterred me from even going to university, let alone continuing my passion with technology. Despite the doubt of my teacher I decided to pursue this passion and studies Software Engineering at University. Throughout university I was working a string of unfulfilling jobs, at that point I decided that I was going to do something for myself and after graduating I decided to run my business full time.
