EDUCATION
Baton Rouge, LA Louisiana State University Fall 2012 – May 2017
Dual BS Degrees Expected May 2017:
Majors: Physics, Computer Science concentrating on Software Engineering Minor: Math EMPLOYMENT
Software Engineer, Intern GeoEngineers, Inc.
SmartMine Technology Team Summer 2016
Worked with a diverse team of engineers to achieve goals, requiring coordination among members
Implemented features and bug fixes for commercial web application
Defined cluster and deployment procedures for SaaS application on AWS
Developed a widget for primary internal GIS application to visualize collected data
Worked with NodeJS, Docker, MapBox, ArcGIS JS, Postgres, many AWS services, LIDAR data handling
Extensive use of source control and issue management
Required a thorough understanding of stack and cluster design
Student Researcher Louisiana State University
Department of Physics and Astronomy Fall 2013 – Spring 2016
Worked with a group of researchers in a very flexible role, often learning new skills as needed
Participated in weekly team meetings, requiring precise articulation of technical information
CALET – Calorimetric Electron Telescope on the International Space Station
Developed a data handling, validation, conversion, and distribution pipeline
Pipeline was critical to data distribution throughout international collaboration

TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
After Hours Lab (2015 - 2016)
Lead Developer – Responsible for designing and developing the core code, and managing developers o Lead the software development for Space Shrimp utilizing the Unity game engine o Designed software structure to be flexible and extendable o Utilized a variety of design patterns to maximize the utility of each of the primary systems o Developed a custom physics and mechanics engine
Project Lead – Responsible for coordinating between team members and ensuring project success o Managed 18 team members including developers, designers, artists, and brand agents o Set the overall goals for the team, and distributed tasks based on member’s capabilities
Team Lead – Responsible for managing the company and working with outside parties o Developed and facilitated company business, legal agreements, finances, and status reports o Coordinated with a local incubator, Level Up Lab, in order to maximize project success o Coordinated with businesses and press to meet project requirements and expand our network
Project ended due to time constraints. The objective of the project was to learn the practical skills necessary for professional game development, and the practices a diverse team needed. We felt that we had achieved these goals, and that further development would negatively impact our education.

ABOUT CRAIG
I’m a project oriented individual driven by curiosity and passion for problem solving. Through my love of software development, I’ve been able to work with incredibly talented individuals on amazing projects. I love to learn and push the boundaries of knowledge, while also working with a team to meet a challenging goal. My physics background and research experience has given me skills necessary to efficiently pursue the unknown and perform detailed analysis. This experience is complemented by my experience as a leader of development teams which require focused effort in order to achieve the goals and timelines set out. I enjoy working as a team to solve challenging problems, especially if many perspectives are present.
