Hello
I am Brisbane based, however I am also Australian, so timezones and language barrier will not be an issue.
Although I am not Melbourne based, I do work with a number of clients remotely and usually create a local development environment for testing and completing objectives, prior to merging into any live solution.
From an experience point of view, I am a Level 20 Top Rated Freelancer on the Freelancer site and I have over 29 years extensive experience with Filemaker Pro and have developed, deployed and maintained many instances from very large and complex down through to smaller more simple deployments.
My standard rate is US$80/hour, however I am happy to offer a 'get to know you' rate, to start with and we can review that as our working relationship progresses.
Due to my extensive experience, I am also able to complete objectives, first time, correctly (meaning it won't need to be re-developed in the future) and usually in shorter time than less experienced developers, which translates into savings in terms of both time and funding over the long term for your business.
If you would like to contact me to discuss the project further, I can get you to send through some additional information on the two databases and the desired outcomes/maintenance/developments you are looking for, so I can have a better understanding of the requirements, confirm a plan and then I can provide a more accurate timeline for completion.
Thank you
Darren
