Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNeil Craig is a Lead Technical Architect with 13+ years designing and delivering large-scale web content delivery and infrastructure, currently shaping CDN, DNS, TLS, caching and HTTP architectures at the BBC. He brings hands-on expertise from systems level (Linux, MySQL/Percona, load balancers, SANs) through web stacks (Node, React, PHP, MongoDB) to operational tooling (Splunk, Monit, Postfix) and PCI-grade security. Known for pragmatic solutions, he blends low-level protocol knowledge (DNS, TLS, client certs) with modern CDN and edge practices (Akamai, Cloudflare) to optimize availability and performance. His background includes building an in-house CMS and full project lifecycle delivery, giving him both engineering depth and supplier/operational savvy. Based in the UK and trained as an electronic systems engineer, he pairs deep infrastructure instincts with a developer’s fluency across languages and platforms.
