Craig Hesling is a founder and lead developer with 12 years of experience building embedded systems, low-power networks, and security-focused AI tools from San Francisco. A Carnegie Mellon-trained Electrical and Computer Engineer, he moved from hardware and IoT work—designing LoRa sensor platforms and grid-balancing appliance controls—to leading Chrome OS fingerprint authentication at Google. He combines deep firmware and systems expertise with production software skills, now applying that hybrid background to develop precise AI tooling for security researchers at RavelBit. His trajectory shows a pattern of turning research-grade prototypes into deployable systems and mentoring teams through hands-on teaching and project leadership. Notably, he has built both network infrastructure (OpenChirp gateways) and consumer-facing security features, bridging physical devices and secure software ecosystems.
