I'm Craig. I dropped out to learn to code, and twenty-some years later the range runs from web apps and chain infrastructure to Docker fleets, ESP32 firmware, and 3D-printed battle bots. Self-taught the whole way. Hard worker, fast learner: a new stack is usually a weekend.

Currently open for work: full-stack product, platform and infrastructure, or embedded.

• Built neko, a self-hosted virtual browser (Go, pion/WebRTC, hand-rolled GStreamer cgo bindings, Vue). First commit to v1.0.0 in sixteen days. 2,077 stars here, 145K Docker pulls, and the community continuation (m1k1o/neko) is past 21,000 stars and going strong.

  "Neko seriously feels like magic the first time you run it."

• Most recently Senior Software Developer at Cyfrin: built and ran the platform behind Cygent (their AI security engineer), stood up the BattleChain L2 (ZKsync OS, including a sequencer fix merged upstream), and spent a year on Cyfrin Updraft's backend APIs, notification system, and platform infrastructure (200,000+ students).

• Founder of Ticketeer, a Discord support SaaS: 4,200+ communities, 3.4M+ users, 337K+ tickets.

• Formerly CTO at CLOSEM: built a full CRM (SMS/MMS, email marketing, voice, automation) and led the engineering team.

• Merged upstream over the years: discord.js, TypeORM, Vuelidate, laravel/vite-plugin, Coolify, ZKsync OS server, BackyardHero Pyro, and more. I fix the tools I use.

esp_radar A live ADS-B flight radar on a round ESP32-S3 touch display: real aircraft, amber ATC scope, doubles as a clock. C, ESP-IDF, LVGL, hand-rolled drivers, with related PRs sent upstream to Espressif.	hackceptor A card-to-cash bridge for the Tampa Hackerspace vending machine: QR, Stripe, authenticated WebSocket, and an ESP32-P4 kiosk pulsing the "$1 accepted" line through an opto-isolator.
Battle bots, Tampa Hackerspace I head the robotics team. Current antweight: designed in SolidWorks, printed and armored in-house, weighed in at 452.76 g with less than a gram to spare under the 1 lb limit.	libpyro Open-source pyro ignition systems: my transmitter design moving from SolidWorks to the bench, plus two PRs merged into BackyardHero's show-control software.

Also in the drawer: grit engine, a falling-sand game in Rust (closed source for now), and a homelab that tests everything before it ships (Coolify, Jellyfin, Headscale, all Docker).

Head of the robotics team (battle bots) at Tampa Hackerspace. Shop-trained on the laser cutter, lathe, and mill. Learning pottery. Cat dad to Moe, the best bud a nerd could ask for. The neko cat-butt logo? Long story, see the repo.
