About Me

Hello!
My name is Cerys, and I'm a software slash web developer for Veterans Legal Link. I enjoy the work I do, building a case management portal for case workers and veterans across Wales. This whole website acts as a portfolio of the sort of stuff that I enjoy doing, with this page being a prettier version of my old CV.
