Contract Database Programmer

With Delphi's functionality,
if you can imagine it, you can do it.

My 15 years of professional computer experience spans a wide range of database programming and technical support.

Initially developing with FileMaker Pro, my work included PHP running against MySQL in website environments. During the past several years, I have expanded this work to include Borland's Delphi database programming language running against My-SQL and MS SQL Server.

For those not familiar with Delphi, it is one of the most sophisticated languages available to programmers. Its rapid application development environment translates into lower costs to you, the customer. Delphi's extensive command set delivers professional-looking reports, user-friendly data entry screens, calculated data, and more.

For many years my programming activities centered around the Florida hurricane insurance business. More recently I have been working with an international food supplier developing applications to monitor production processes - designing screens for production-related and summary data in report and display formats; configuring their database server, and more.

Simple Solutions

Often, some very simple scripting can make your work much easier. Example: One of our clients has an online store using eshox. The administrative interface provides some ROI information, but not enough to be useful. With filemaker we went to the database, downloaded the data, and wrote some scripts to tell them how many of each product had been sold for a given date range and the average sales price and profit. To go one step even simpler, we taught the client how to export that data from the database, and used even simpler scripts to simply crunch the vast spreadsheet to usable data.

The Application Development Process

System Analysis: By spending more initial time analyzing your user requirements and designing the application to fit those requirements, we use less time on code production, costly adjustments, and enhancements later on.
Code Production: Clear design specs keep your costs to a minimum and ensure that your expectations are met or exceeded at delivery.

Management Tools

It is vital that you, the decision maker, have accurate information at your fingertips--to determine trends, spot irregularities, and catch problems before they get out of hand. Without this critical information, blind spots can develop that hide potentially dangerous and costly situations.

Notes and spreadsheets may work well in the beginning, but as your company matures, it is necessary to integrate the parts of an information gathering system into a single, unified, and highly efficient application.

When you are ready to begin your project please call me to arrange an initial survey of your specific situation. Since pre-development analysis must take place before any application can be started, please factor extra time into your projected end date.
