Trevor Craig

Engineer | Systems Architect | HCI Researcher

Philosophy: Engineering the Full Stack

I am a Systems Architect who thrives in the messy intersection of biological data and mechanical hardware. My career has been defined by a mentality of adapting and moving between Solidworks assemblies, low-level Linux firmware, and Python data pipelines to solve whatever bottleneck stands between a concept and a shippable product.

Whether I’m engineering algorithms to calibrate medical scanners, using Computer Vision to detect biometric signals in the eye, or rewriting a genomic matching engine six times to get performance; I am obsessed with latency, precision, and the human experience.

The Academic: M.S. in Control Systems & Robotics. Researcher in Gaze-Vector intent prediction and HCI.
The Engineer: Head of Engineering for 300+ unit production runs. FDA-compliant hardware architect.
The Founder: Built SNP Shot from scratch to move genomic complexity onto mobile devices.
The Athlete: 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell finisher and rock climbing fanatic. Grit is a transferable skill.

Grit and The Maker Spirit

Built upon the ability to handle open ended problems and see them through to completion. I apply the same mentality to my personal pursuits.

  • 24 Hours of Horseshoe Hell: Completed the legendary 24 hour endurance climbing marathon. This event is a masterclass in managing fatigue, maintaining safety under pressure, and mental resilience.
  • Rapid Prototyping: I operate a home lab with FDM 3D printers and use Solidworks to design custom ergonomic solutions and mechanical tools for myself and the local community.
