Bio
Brian Leor Frankel
Craig is a process oriented programmer that delivers high quality work. He is detail oriented and explains his recommendations in a language that is easy to understand by people who are not tech savvy. I have worked with Craig on several projects and he always over delivered in a timely manner. He is also a personable guy and a pleasure to speak with on the phone, as our relationship was virtual.
Tahl Raz
I hired Craig out of college as an intern and it wasn't long before he was the full-time in-house technical lead managing the development of our CMS and the back-end production of nearly all forms of digital media - always on time, on budget, with scarce resources. At my next startup, one of my first acts was poaching Craig. His aptitude for communication and management is on par with his considerable coding chops. Whatever the venture, he is that rare combination of intelligence, creativity, technical prowess, and sweet-tempered conviviality that makes good teams great.
