Welcome

A little about me

I’m a software developer based in Ramsgate in the UK. I was employed at reevoo until recently being made redundant and am now looking for another job (permanent or contract). Feel free to read a little more about me to see if I might be able to help out.

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 and contact info.
