About jKirkerx
The jKirkerx story starts with mechanical work, Xerox, communications contracting, and a long return to designing and shipping complete software systems.
How It Started
Jim Kirker started the business in 1990 after seven years at Xerox, building from hands-on technical work into software, systems, and business operations.
The background includes auto mechanic work, communications contracting, hotel and resort projects, reseller operations, and software systems that solve practical problems.
That history matters because the software work is grounded in real equipment, real users, and real operational pressure instead of abstract demos.
Engineering Roots
Early experience with paper tape, limited storage, repairs, backups, releases, and field work shaped a careful approach to systems.
The site connects that longer story to current projects such as Spark Journal, Simple BOL, PCAD Toolkit, and VDos 2026.
