Craig Curtis
Product-Minded, AI-Accelerated Frontend Architect, Fullstack Developer, and Chinese Linguist
I build AI-powered applications and tooling that makes teams faster, applications that hold up, and tools that take the tedious parts of the job out back. Mostly TypeScript, mostly on the web.
I have professional fluency in Chinese, intermediate Finnish, and beginner Swedish. That global perspective translates into frontend work that spans cultures: internationalization, timezone-aware interfaces, and datetime handling that works across regions and calendar systems.
