I'm Craig Lobo, a Computer Science student at the University of Alberta with a passion for backend development, system-level programming, and building practical, impactful solutions. This GitHub is home to a variety of projects that reflect my interests in mobile development, AI, embedded systems, and software craftsmanship.
I’m driven by curiosity and a commitment to building tools that solve real-world problems. Whether it's improving everyday tasks through mobile apps, exploring system design through language compilers, or applying AI to create interactive experiences, I strive to learn through building and iteration.
I’ve taken on both leadership and technical roles in collaborative settings, from leading teams in agile sprints to leading hackathons.
Java | Firebase | Android Studio
Developed an Android app to catalogue household items for insurance, using Firebase for real-time data handling. Led a 5-person team as Scrum Master, implementing custom search filtering that improved efficiency by 30%.
Flutter | C++ | Bluetooth
Built a wearable-integrated health monitoring app in Flutter for both iOS and Android. Managed real-time Bluetooth communication and participated in agile feature planning and QA testing.
React | JavaScript | Google Maps API
Created in 24 hours at HackEd Beta to help students navigate campus pedways in winter. Implemented Dijkstra’s algorithm for optimized routing and integrated Google Maps for real-time directions.
Python | Assembly
Maintained a compiled stack-based programming language. Rewrote the original Python implementation in its own syntax, using FASM and bootstrapping techniques to compile itself.
Flask | OpenCV | Python | Stable Diffusion
Showcased at the Upper Bound AI Conference. Used AI-generated images as trivia prompts. Optimized server response time by 600% via multithreading, cutting cloud compute costs significantly.
Flask | Google Cloud Vision API | fpdf2
Built-in 24 hours at HackEd 2023. Converts handwritten notes to clean PDF documents using OCR. Led frontend and API integration on a 3-person team.
I’m always open to collaboration, feedback, or just chatting about cool projects.
