Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCraig Roberts is a Principal Engineer based in Kuala Lumpur with 11 years of hands-on experience building pragmatic, scalable systems and leading cross-functional engineering teams. He specializes in architecting resilient integrations and permissions systems, having driven an 85% reduction in integration errors and halved infrastructure spend through pragmatic migrations and optimization. A technical leader who pairs architectural vision with implementation, he has guided multiple pods through reorganizations, established a Development CoE, and championed security alignment across tribes. His background spans large multi-tenant SaaS platforms, event-driven stacks (Kafka/Avro), and cloud cost engineering, with deep practical experience in Laravel, TypeScript microservices, and CI/CD automation. Notably, his undergraduate work on binary Git packfile parsing reflects a low-level curiosity that informs his system design decisions today. Outside of work he’s addicted to coffee and hard science fiction, a personal detail that often surfaces in team culture and late-night design sessions.
