Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Borja is a founder and principal engineer with 12+ years building revenue-focused web platforms, teams, and automation for SMBs and enterprise clients. He blends hands-on full‑stack engineering (Ruby on Rails, React/Next.js, Python, headless Shopify) with product and operations leadership, repeatedly turning manual workflows into AI‑powered, revenue-generating automation. As founder of Ignium he shipped solutions like an AI voice agent that raised bookings ~30%, a self‑serve animation SaaS, and dramatic storefront performance improvements that cut page loads from ~6s to <1s. Previously he scaled engineering teams at G2—improving hiring, developer productivity, and launching features that boosted user logins by over 200%—and has led platform work through multiple acquisitions. He brings an operator’s mindset to engineering: designing maintainable architectures, measurable business outcomes, and planned exits when appropriate. Based in the U.S. with an MS in IT and a background spanning startups to scale‑ups, he’s comfortable alternating between strategic leadership and shipping code.
