Who am I?
Hello and welcome! My name is C.S. Rhymes and I'm a full time web developer and a part time author, based in Brackley, Northamptonshire.
I have over fifteen years experience of web development, from backend php coding specialising in Laravel, to frontend HTML, CSS, Sass & JavaScript, including React and TypeScript.
Web development is great. I really enjoy being able to release my creativity and solve challenges.
This creativity then led me into writing. I've written eight books that are all available on the Amazon Kindle store.
I also enjoy writing short stories which can be found on my website and also available as a free ebook.
I also write a blog on this site as well as writing on devto with technology, web and other random topics, so make sure you check them out too.
