Top SchoolMichael Rog is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience leading small dev teams and crafting thoughtful, human-centered web experiences from Houston. He currently maintains PBS KIDS' flagship CMS and extensive API ecosystem, delivering streaming, games, and learning analytics at scale while partnering closely with product and design. As founder of Build For Humans and a long-time Craft CMS contributor, he’s shipped 100+ bespoke projects and maintains widely used plugins that power thousands of sites. He blends full-stack proficiency (PHP, Node, TypeScript, Docker, GraphQL) with product sensibility, R&D in conversational interfaces, and hands-on coaching of other developers.

Quietly entrepreneurial, he pairs practical delivery with a knack for turning content-heavy systems into reliable, usable platforms.
