Senior🎓
Top SchoolCraig Lane is a Senior Lead Software Engineer with 11 years of experience designing and delivering mobile-first experiences and cross-platform SDKs for iOS and Android, now leading mobile efforts at DraftKings from Phoenix. He combines deep Apple-platform expertise (Swift, Combine, SwiftUI, Protocol-oriented design) with full-stack backend experience (Django, Rails, REST/WebSocket/XMPP) to build real-time, mission-critical apps for public safety and consumer products. At PubNub and Motorola he drove architecture for high-throughput real-time SDKs and push-to-talk/audio streaming, while also owning CI/CD pipelines and white-label distribution strategies. He’s a hands-on technical leader and mentor who codified onboarding and best practices for distributed teams and consistently translates complex system constraints into pragmatic roadmaps. An unusual strength is his track record of shipping both SDKs and end-user apps—bridging developer ergonomics and product-grade reliability.
