Certified Claris FileMaker Pro App Developer
I have been an associate of Claris since 1991 as part of the original FileMaker Solutions and Business Alliances.
As an independent developer I am always keen to help clients achieve the most with their systems. Initially I used FileMaker Pro to develop a job management system for a sign company, capable of taking text from the project management file and producing PostScript code for print-ready artwork. The files could be sent to an imagesetter, producing films for screen printing the finished signs.
Other developments of interest have included travel bookings, events management, school timetabling & class attendance, and a Bird identification guide. This last one was supplied as a stand-alone app that could be downloaded to the classic Apple iPods, complete with bird illustrations and songs (see here);
I have created various integrations pulling and pushing data directly to industrial sign printers & vinyl cutters. ODBC, PHP and API integrations to emable payment through ePDQ and Revolut, AI assisted search methods and AWS emailing systems.
Coding for JavaScript/HTML 5 to enable dynamic image creation in webviewers to facilitate dynamic maps and diagrams drawn incorporating merged FileMaker and Online data.
