Meet the team - Matt Dickson
Development Team
We asked Matt to tell you a little about himself, here's what he had to say...

"I have worked at Optinet for a total of 2 and a half years, initially in the support department. I then pursued a career in software development elsewhere, before returning to Optinet recently as a developer. I am part of the main development team for Flex and work on new features, resolving bugs and creating improvements. I have worked with a variety of cutting edge technologies during my time working as a developer and since
graduating Reading University in 2016.

Outside of work I enjoy getting outside, doing yoga, calisthenics and walking.

Interesting Fact - I can do handstands!"
