The future of modern development is shaped by the people who build it! π
Ortus Solutions is proud to collaborate with FIU Tech Talent Academy to introduce emerging developers to the people, tools, and real-world thinking behind BoxLang and BoxLang AI.
Led by FIU alumnus Luis Majano, Founder and CEO of Ortus Solutions and creator of BoxLang, this two-day experience connects career readiness with hands-on development. Students will explore how open-source innovation, productive JVM development, and practical AI capabilities can help solve real problems.
This work reflects our long-term commitment to the ecosystem: supporting developers, helping businesses modernize with confidence, and creating space for new voices to build with us.
Because a technology earns trust through action, continued support, real-world solutions, an active community, and a clear investment in the developers who will carry it forward. π

Taking BoxLang everywhere! ππΈπ»
In collaboration with El Salvadorβs Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ortus Solutions created a space for businesses, technology teams, universities, professionals, students, and developers to explore how modern software and practical AI can support real organizational needs.
Led by Luis Majano, Founder and CEO of Ortus Solutions and creator of BoxLang and BoxLang AI, the masterclass generated 220 registrations and opened important conversations about how organizations can:
π Modernize existing web applications without starting over.
π Improve processes and increase productivity.
β¨ Add practical AI capabilities to the systems they already use.
π‘ Maintain the freedom to choose, adapt, and scale.
For us, growing BoxLang means more than presenting a technology. It means teaching, sharing real capabilities, listening to organizations, and creating the connections that make meaningful adoption possible.
