Sydney Shackelford

I’m a seasoned software developer and IT consultant with more than 20+ years of experience helping businesses solve operational problems with practical, reliable technology solutions. My background spans FileMaker development, database design, systems analysis, IT infrastructure, server administration, integrations, and technical support across a wide range of environments. I specialize in building and maintaining business-critical systems that support logistics, warehousing, inventory, order processing, and workflow automation. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with FileMaker, MySQL, filePro, APIs, EDI, and other integration technologies, along with broader infrastructure tools including Windows Server, Linux, macOS, VMware, AWS, firewalls, VPNs, VoIP, and Microsoft 365. What I bring to each project is a mix of deep technical experience and a practical, business-focused mindset. I’m comfortable stepping into existing systems, troubleshooting issues, modernizing older solutions, and improving processes without disrupting day-to-day operations. I also communicate clearly, work well independently, and understand how to balance technical quality with business needs. If you’re looking for someone who can handle complex systems, improve reliability, and deliver thoughtful solutions, I’d be glad to connect.
