Summary
Mayel De Borniol is a seasoned full-stack developer and social entrepreneur with around two decades of hands-on experience building web platforms, federated networks, and open-source tooling. As co-founder and technical lead on projects from Podemus and LeLab.TV to Babelverse, GetAcross and MoodleNet, he blends product strategy, architecture and rapid prototyping with community-driven mission work. He specializes in federated, privacy-respecting systems (CommonsPub, Bonfire) using Elixir/Phoenix, GraphQL and React/TypeScript, and often owns everything from infra to UX and community growth. Comfortable as a CTO-for-hire or freelance technical architect, he’s equally fluent pitching investors and shipping production code. An understated strength is his pattern of turning constrained resources into studio-quality media and scalable platforms, reflecting a hacker’s knack for pragmatic, low-cost innovation.
