John Borden is a founder and pragmatic designer-developer with 12 years of experience building web apps and games-adjacent products from Albuquerque, NM. He leads Glyph Glyder, where he maintains two creative products—a whiteboard/game-builder hybrid (Glyph Garden) and Mondranoid, a game that doubles as an e-commerce site—while taking on diverse contract work. His background spans full-stack startups and teaching roles, from front-end work with Angular and Rails at a payments startup to instructing immersive bootcamps in rural communities including the Navajo Nation. Although he characterizes himself as a gamer who hasn’t shipped many traditional games, his work intentionally blurs design, gameplay, and business modeling (he built a web app that gamifies business model creation). That blend of product-minded craftsmanship and hands-on engineering makes him effective at turning experimental concepts into usable web experiences.
