Summary
Tyler Craft is a Principal Software Engineer with 15 years of experience designing and shipping thoughtful, user-centered web applications from startup to scale. He builds and leads front-end teams, architects performance-critical interfaces, and has a track record of turning messy product problems into clear, usable design systems and reusable component libraries. At Compa he owned front-end architecture and created a custom charting framework for compensation-specific visualizations, and earlier roles at Meta and Postmates sharpened his leadership in cross-disciplinary, data- and ML-integrated product work. He champions accessibility, internationalization, and maintainable patterns while mentoring engineers and influencing product strategy. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, he blends hands-on engineering with strategic influence—equally comfortable shipping code or shaping roadmaps. A former D3 charting author and long-time UI specialist, he brings rare depth in data visualization for human-focused interfaces.
