About Me

My name is Ricky Purnell and I am an Englishman living in Gislaved, Sweden.

I grew up in England, where I worked in an office environment but after several years decided to have a change of scene and explore the world. Atfer my travels I relocated to Sweden and returned to school again to learn Swedish. During this time I decided to learn the trade of creating websites in which I been doing since January 2007.
I have experience in XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), PHP, MySQL, XML/Flash and Actionscript 2.0 and 3.0. I use Drupal as a Content Management System (CMS) and rely on Photoshop and Fireworks MX for graphical work.

I'm quite a design orientated person who enjoys creating new and exciting site designs. I enjoy sports and competition and I am quite Arty and enjoy socialising. Below is a list of literature that I have ploughed my way through to get where I am today.
