Hours per month of manual timekeeping, before and after. Ciarra Construction.
One quote
Not an hourly estimate. You know the number before I start.
Zero jargon
You never have to learn what a web host is. That's my job.
Hey, I'm Tim.
Chalk Logic is one person, and that person is me. You talk to me, I write the software, and I'm still the one answering the phone two years later. Here's how I work.
I deliver outcomes
When you have software needs, inefficiencies, and complex workflows that are the heart of your business, you need someone to deliver you an outcome — not an estimate for hours that may or may not deliver what you expect.
Guaranteed satisfaction
Instead of estimating how many hours I might sell you, I'll give you a quote. With that quote I guarantee to deliver you to your desired state, otherwise I'll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
Tech jargon free zone
You don't need to know a thing about databases, or what a web host is for, or the difference between a web page and a web app. I'll handle all the technology for you.
How can I
help you?
Most people find me somewhere on this list. If you don't, the last one is for you.
Excel
Replace a monolithic Excel workbook with a full-featured web application that restricts users based on their role, is accessible from anywhere, and holds your employees' hands through complex workflows.
Access
Swap out your MS Access database with a dazzling, modern, multi-user application that you can use from any computer, browser, or mobile device.
Automate
Eliminate hours of manual effort by automating your interactions with different systems. Have your Monday.com timesheet automatically downloaded and imported into QuickBooks every night while you sleep.
Connect
Wasting time keying the same information into multiple systems? Nearly all software today has the capacity to be connected and integrated; let me make that happen for you.
AI
Put AI to work on the data you already have. Ask your own records plain-English questions, summarize what came in overnight, and let it handle the reading and sorting your team does by hand today.
Replace
Does your entire business run on software the original vendor no longer supports? I'll work with you to understand which pieces you want to keep and which to trash, then rebuild the software specifically for you.
Don't know where to start?
You know your business, I know software. Let's chat and I'll get you where you want to go.

month, given back
Ciarra Construction collected employee time from dozens of locations with 500+ touch points daily. The task had grown to 500 hours of manual effort every month. It now takes 80.
“Though the technical skillset was absolute top notch, I was more impressed with rest of the service. CL brought intuitive and creative solutions to the project as if we're their own.”
Zack · Senior Director, Ciarra Construction

What clients say
“Our experience with Tim far exceeded our expectations. We knew what we wanted but were not able to fully articulate it from the beginning. Tim patiently worked with us through an iterative process to develop the software program to really fit our needs. And, he's a fun guy to talk to as well.”
“There has not been a single request that Tim has said he can't do. After our initial consultation, it was clear that nothing was out of reach. He made every request seem easily obtainable.”
“I needed to move an outdated custom program over to a new computer. I worked locally with my IT guy, who called around to his friends, and no one could figure out how to do it. Within a day of hiring Tim, he figured it out. I wish I had found him three months earlier!”
“We started with an idea, but as we fleshed it out, things changed and Tim never missed a beat, adapting the software as we went. He needed no guidance, he simply made it happen.”
Reach out
Whether you have already fleshed out all the requirements or you have a stick person drawn on a napkin — reach out, I'm happy to help turn your idea into a tangible software solution.
