Can't find a FileMaker developer
FileMaker specialists are rare. Anyone who needs to maintain or extend an existing solution struggles to find someone who understands complex FileMaker structures.
Existing solution without a successor
The previous developer is no longer available – but the solution is still running in production. Someone needs to understand the code and keep it going.
FileMaker project needs reinforcement
A new project, a running system or an integration – the internal team lacks FileMaker expertise and needs short-term external support.
FileMaker support that works
Developer with database focus
I'm Vincent Kilchherr – a freelance developer based in Basel, focused on database solutions and custom business applications.
FileMaker combines database, user interface and server logic in one. With my experience in SQL, PHP, JavaScript and JSON, I can quickly get up to speed with existing FileMaker systems – and develop new solutions in a structured and transparent way. I take on projects directly and work independently.
Custom FileMaker Solutions
I develop custom FileMaker applications for SMEs – from data structures and input forms to automations and server integration. Structured, documented and maintainable.
- Relational database models with complex structures
- Layouts, portals and scripts for efficient workflows
- Plugin integration (MBS) for extended functionality
Connection to external systems
FileMaker can be connected to REST APIs, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle and technical systems like barcode readers or measurement devices. I implement these integrations cleanly and reliably.
- REST API and JSON integrations
- Direct connection to MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle
- Technical systems: barcode, scanners, measurement devices
Takeover of existing FileMaker installations
You have a running FileMaker solution without an active developer? I take over existing systems, analyse the structure and ensure stable operation – bug fixing, updates, further development.
- Analysis and documentation of existing FileMaker systems
- Bug fixing and further development of complex applications
- Ongoing maintenance and support on an hourly basis
Freelance support for agencies
I work discreetly as external reinforcement – white-label or directly in your team. Git, Jira, Slack: I adapt to your workflow.
