Welcome

A little about me

I’m a software developer living in Ramsgate in the UK. I’m currently employed at Headshift after being made redundant from reevoo.

A little about this site

This started out as a typo powered blog hosted at blog.seagul.co.uk. I wanted to migrate it from a plain blog to a more general site that serves as a central place for my digital life. To that end, I’ve slowly migrated away from typo (first to some homegrown software and then to webby), I’ve moved from blog.seagul.co.uk to chrisroos.co.uk and my blog now sits at the same level as my projects, utilities and contact info.
