Gwyn M.

## BIO **<u>Gwyn Morfey, InSite Web Design</u>** I'm a career contractor based in Australia with a rather unique skillset. I can offer you exceptional communication, rapid turn-around, and a significant advantage on the exchange rate. I have six years experience in web technologies, a Bachelor of Laws, and a Bachelor of Commerce. The legal skills put me ahead of others in communication and analysing problems, and the Commerce training gives me an edge in understanding business realities. I'd like to work with you to solve your problems and improve your business, rather than blindly implementing a specification. I'm available to work real-time via instant message or phone. **<u>Skill Highlights</u>** **PHP/MySQL web coding** I designed and built a web-based tutorial generator – a site that takes other sites, modifies them, and builds a user-editable tutorial structure. The need to cope with any existing html/javascript code, some of it buggy, made this very complex, and required a very thorough understanding of PHP, HTML and javascript.

Working with graphic designers in the US, I built the Rubber Chicken Cards and DoozyCards sites. Collaborating via IM and phone, we found that the distance worked to our advantage, as the US team would test during their day, and I would implement new features during mine.

There is also a very complex back end, written with PHP/MySQL; the product catalogue is maintained without any involvement from me. The site can output single products or entire ranges as PDF files.

I built a schema, an XML representation of the data, and a set of XSL stylesheets to implement this project. The PDF output is via XSL:FO, handled by Apache FOP.

I have run Linux exclusively on my workstation since 2001. I am responsible for a medium-sized mixed-OS network at Teachers On Net. Contact: Geraldine at Quantum Books, [login to view URL].
