About Me

I'm Michael Borgers

Flutter Developer · WordPress Plugin Architect

I build cross-platform apps and WordPress plugins that give users total control — no vendor lock-in, no developer dependency. 20+ years of experience, and I still use everything I build.

From Enterprise to Independence

After 20+ years at HP/EDS building enterprise systems, I went independent. I lost a business overnight to platform takedowns — and learned the hard way that owning your tools matters.

Now I build only what I need, and I share it. Every app, every plugin, every site is something I use myself. I don't build for spec sheets. I build for real life.

What I Build

📱

Cross-Platform Apps

Flutter/Dart apps that run on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. One codebase, everywhere.

🔌

WordPress Plugins

Self-maintained sites for ordinary users. No developer needed after launch. No lock-in.

🏠

Property Tech

Tools for hosts: offline-first operations apps, sync workflows, and property sites that show real availability.

🧠

Product Thinking

I am the user. Every product I build solves a problem I personally have — so it actually works in practice.

Background

2000–2020 HP/EDS — Enterprise systems, full-stack development, product delivery at scale.
2020 Went Independent — Started building training apps. Lost them overnight to platform takedowns. Rebuilt with a new philosophy: own your tools.
2021–Present Active Airbnb Host — Running guest stays in the Philippines. Built Private Host HQ to manage the chaos. Every feature is something I actually need.
Present Independent Builder — Flutter/Dart apps, WordPress plugins, and contract work for clients who want independence and real-world solutions.
“I build so that ordinary users can own their tools — no developer needed after launch, no platform lock-in, no recurring dependency. That's the only way software should work.”
