Expert FileMaker Development

Hi, I'm Andrew Pokora. I help small teams and medium-sized businesses build, repair, and maintain high-performing FileMaker databases.

Senior FileMaker Developer since 2012 (v12)

I specialize in transforming complex business logic into clean, efficient, and user-friendly FileMaker applications. By working directly with me, you communicate directly with the engineer writing the scripts and designing the layouts. There are no project managers or communication delays.

Whether you need to rescue a fragile legacy database, build custom API integrations, or speed up your daily database workflows, I deliver reliable, documented solutions built on industry best practices.

How I Help You Succeed

Practical, robust solutions tailored specifically to your FileMaker database challenges.

Legacy System Rescue

Specializing in reviving, modernizing, and documenting outdated or fragile FileMaker systems. Even if others gave up or the original documentation is lost, I can stabilize and secure your system.

Performance & Bug Fixing

Identifying database bottlenecks, optimizing script logic, fixing annoying bugs, and improving server performance to ensure a fast, lag-free user experience for your entire team.

API Integrations

Connecting FileMaker with CRMs, payment gateways (Authorize.net, Stripe), automation nodes (n8n, Make), DocuSign, Twilio, accounting software (Quickbooks), and custom web portals.

UX & Workflow Updates

Redesigning cluttered interface layouts and optimizing system navigation to match your actual daily workflows, helping your staff enter and access data much faster.

FileMaker + AI Integration

Bringing the power of AI directly to your records. Integrating Large Language Models (like OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini) to automate reporting, summarize data, and power smart search tools.

Custom Development

Designing and building clean, robust, and scalable FileMaker applications from scratch tailored to solve your unique business requirements and grow along with your team.

"Andrii pushed us along our journey from FMP6 to the online world at lightning speed. Without his technical prowess, his language skills, his speed and dedication and without his friendly and helpful demeanour we'd be nowhere with our project."

"Andrew always kept me informed as to what he would do. He then documented what he did using screen prints that he marked up showing various info. He went the extra mile and added a few things that enhanced my app. Andrew completed the job in a very timely fashion exceeding all my expectations! What impressed me the most was his helpfulness even before I committed to selecting him..."
