** WATCH MY VIDEO ** Hi, I'm Mike Phalen. I specialize in AI consulting — specifically OpenClaw setup, integration, and training for small businesses. I've been building custom business software for 20 years, and many of my clients have worked with me for over a decade. I know how to translate complex technology into practical, reliable systems that actually get used. With OpenClaw and today's AI models, the ROI for business automation has crossed a real threshold — and I help clients take advantage of that. Happy to review your project at no charge. Let's talk. Thanks, Mike 2/24/2026

I help businesses build and modernize FileMaker custom apps — and bring AI-assisted development into the workflow without the hype. Since 2021 I've been the lead Claris FileMaker developer for a business systems consultancy, building and maintaining FileMaker custom apps and handling data migrations and deployments with the FileMaker Data Migration Tool and OttoFMS. I hold the Claris FileMaker Server Administrator certification and the AI Fundamentals II: Using LLMs in Claris FileMaker Associate certification. My current work spans FileMaker 2026 and AI-assisted development with opencode — using leading open-source models like GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Qwen3.7 to keep costs down without sacrificing quality. For sensitive work that can't leave my machine, I run local LLMs through llama.cpp. I also deploy and manage self-hosted infrastructure for clients, including FileMaker Server and n8n, on both Windows and Ubuntu. What I work on: 1. FileMaker 2026 upgrade / migration 2. FileMaker + AI integration (native LLM calls, semantic search, RAG) 3. n8n workflow automation (self-hosted, AI agents — not FileMaker-only) 4. Self-hosted business tooling setup (n8n, FileMaker Server on VPS) 5. AI-assisted internal tools / web tools (opencode + open-source models) How I work: I review and validate every AI-generated change before it reaches production. The exact method depends on the work — staging copies and backups for FileMaker, draft-and-test for automation — but the discipline is the same. No vibes.
