About

I've been building FileMaker systems since 1995. The work I take on is the kind where the people who use the system open it every day — operations, scheduling, billing — not internal databases that sit unused. The Answer is the biggest of those. GP is where I've been applying current techniques: the Claris Data API, AI integration, the modern integration patterns that weren't possible a few years ago.
