London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorCarl Crafoord is a product engineering lead based in London with 14 years of experience blending hands-on engineering, platform operations, and product delivery at Kindred Group. He combines deep systems knowledge—Linux/BSD server management, databases (MySQL/SQLite) and backend languages like C++, Python, Perl and PHP—with front-end and typesetting expertise (xHTML/CSS/JS, InDesign, Photoshop), bringing print-layout sensibilities to web UX. Progressing from developer and team lead roles to agile and delivery leadership, he excels at bridging technical teams and product stakeholders to ship reliable systems. Carl is known for pragmatic scripting and automation (bash) and a focus on people-first leadership and teaching. Notably, his background in production and event management shows an ability to grow initiatives beyond code and manage complex cross-functional programs. He favors practical, maintainable solutions that reflect both a designer’s attention to layout and an engineer’s insistence on robust infrastructure.
