Profiad Technegol


Daw profiad Talat o'i yrfa broffesiynol yn y sector addysg uwch a hefyd o'i amryw brosiectau personol a chymunedol dros gyfnod hir, gan gynnwys mewn Linux, MacOS a systemau Windows, cynnal gweinyddion, systemau CMS, meddalwedd goruchwylio asedion digidol, ieithoedd rhaglennu a thechnolegau gwe fel PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, XHTML, CSS, XML ac RDF. Mae ei waith yn y gwyddorau gwybodaeth wedi rhoi profiad sylweddol iddo mewn ystod eang o dechnolegau a systemau trefnu gwybodaeth, yn enwedig mewn safonau metadata a thechnolegau gwe semantaidd.

Mae ef wedi creu safleoedd gweithredol ar sail prif systemau goruchwylio cynnwys megis Drupal, WordPress, Joomla! a MediaWiki, a bu'n gweinyddu amryfal wefannau sefydlog a dynamig yn ogystal â chymwysiadau gwe eraill ers 2006, gan mwyaf ar staciau LAMP a LEMP gyda MySQL ond hefyd yn defnyddio Tomcat a gweinyddion gwe eraill.

Gall ef raglenni'n fedrus mewn PHP, Javascript (gan gynnwys JQuery), ac mewn ieithoedd seiliedeg ar C, e.e. Java, C#. Mae ganddo rywfaint o brofiad o ASP.NET, Python a Perl. Mae ef wedi datblygu cymwysiadau gwe cwmwl ar Google App Engine a RedHat OpenShift.

Mae profiad Talat mewn meysydd technegol ac ieithyddol wedi rhoi iddo arbenigedd nodweddol mewn cyfieithu technegol, yn enwedig cyfieithu rhyngwynebau meddalwedd. Darparodd y cyfieithiadau Cymraeg ar gyfer DSpace 1.4, DSpace 1.5 (JSP UI), EPrints 3.1, MetaLib (Ex Libris), Voyager 7 (Ex Libris) a Primo 3.0 (Ex Libris). Cyn hynny, cyfieithodd amryw ryngwynebau eraill, e.e. rhaglenni post gwe i grwp gwirfoddol.

Yn ogystal ag mewn ystod helaeth o brosiectau Ffynhonnell Agored eraill, mae ganddo ddiddordebau personol mewn: peiriannau planedig a chadarnwedd ffynhonell agored, e.e. Raspberry Pi a'r cyfryw, OpenWRT, DD-WRT; y rhaglen OpenSim ar gyfer bydoedd rhithiol a thechnolegau perthynol, isadeiledd negeseua di-oed ar sail XMPP ac IRC; teleffoni VoIP a SIP; IPv6; HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.
