Summary

Craig McLuckie is a self proclaimed boring guy - monochromatic, as he put it. At one point, he tried retiring from his professional ventures - IE building technology - but... it didn't work. So he is now back into building tech. Outside of tech, he is father to four children - two younger, two older - and enjoys spending time outside with them, hiking and building things. When he comes to food, he mentioned that there is no type of food he doesn't like - as long as it is well prepared and made with love. Craig has been passionate about the supply chain security space for a long time. And in the past, he had built several open source projects - one being Kubernetes. He found himself intrigued at the intersection of these worlds, and wanted to build a solution, enabling developers to secure their open source. This is the creation story of Stacklok.
