Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Born is a founder and seasoned web developer with 11 years building marketing-focused websites and web services from New York. He combines strong front-end skills (HTML5, CSS3, responsive design) with server-side expertise in ColdFusion, PHP, MySQL and Google APIs, and a practical SEO and business-development sensibility. As a long-time contributor to the ColdBox CFML framework he’s improved Hibernate integration and async task handling, showing an attention to robust back-end architecture and open-source collaboration. He has led web teams and launched his own agency, Webango, after senior engineering work at Ortus Solutions and nearly a decade directing web services at an agency. Comfortable bridging technical and client-facing roles, he brings both code-level craftsmanship and commercial focus to projects. Unusually for his profile, his day-to-day remains ColdFusion-centric, reflecting deep specialization in a niche technology stack.
