Unlocking the Joy of Building

Who's Behind This

Craig Sturgis - Headshot

"Let's build and learn together"

I'm Craig Sturgis. I'm a founder, product engineer, former executive leader, and someone who's been in the trenches of software product development for long enough to know what can actually work.

I've been making software since I was a kid typing BASIC out of a library book. The joy of building and learning is fundamental to who I am and it's my mission to foster it in as many people and organizations as I can.

When I first tried AI applied to product development in 2022, I could immediately see how this could empower so many of the dreams I've had my whole career to bring that joy to more people more effectively.

I've been an early adopter as this wave continues to build and as new tools and workflows become best practices. I'm taking a pragmatic approach to adopt the best now while keeping an eye on what develops.

I want you on this journey with me. The more the merrier 😄
