Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Burka is the founder and lead programmer of silverorange, bringing 21 years of hands-on experience building web products and running a small, sustainable digital studio from Montreal. A father and former art history scholar with graduate training from the University of Chicago, he blends a curator’s attention to detail with practical software craftsmanship. Since founding silverorange in 1999 he has steered projects end-to-end—combining UX sensibility, front- and back-end development, and client-facing product thinking. He’s quietly focused on long-term partnerships and maintainable code rather than flashy metrics, favoring durable solutions that scale with small teams.
