A man of many talents, but no sense of how to use them. Craig could be out changing the world but would prefer to make software instead. Probably the reason why Nick Fury refused to take his calls. He possesses a passion for software design, but more importantly software quality and designing systems that can achieve this in a technically diverse and constantly evolving tech world.

Craig has over 20 years’ experience across the development, testing and management disciplines in a variety of software industries, but still feels he learns something new every day. It’s that continued change and evolution of the software industry which motivates him to keep learning and finding ways to improve. More than just playing with tech though, its people that make software come together – and so Craig believes in developing people and empowering them to make a success out of the software they build.

When not playing with software he can often be found spending time with family, writing, designing board games, or running long distances for no apparent reason. He is also a massive fan of comic books and Star Wars, so if you see him concentrating intensely, he is probably just trying to use the force.

Craig is also the writer of the book, Quality By Design, and writes regular articles on his blog sites and various other tech sites around the world. He is also international speaker on a wide range of different software development topics, though these experiences only make him even more excited about the future of the industry in South Africa.

Michael Mikulec, a distinguished Creative/Art Director and Designer, has explored various domains, including graphic design, broadcast, and international creative projects. He originated from Connecticut and is now settled in Savannah, GA. His path is decorated with diverse experiences and achievements.

His journey in the creative field began at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, setting the stage for his future endeavors. Upon graduating, he embarked on a career in broadcast design at ESPN in Bristol, CT. His tenure there was marked by significant contributions to two NBA Finals and the receipt of two Sports Emmy Awards, one of which was for his work on the "This is SportsCenter" show.

Following Michael's time at ESPN, he moved to Troika Design Group in Los Angeles, where he was integral to high-profile projects like the launch of the CW network, MTV's HD platform, and the design of the 2008 Olympic logo for NBC's coverage of the games.

Craving a broader perspective, he relocated to Rome, Italy, to lead the international creative efforts at Frame by Frame. His work reached clients across Europe and the Middle East, including Canal+, SKY, Mediaset, NILE, and NBC Universal. His pursuit of advanced studies took him to Yale University, where he pursued a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Under the mentorship of renowned designers such as Michael Beirut and Irma Boom, his design skills were honed, culminating in the successful pitch for Fenway Park's 100th Anniversary Logo.

Capitalizing on the success of the Fenway Park project, Michael established an American branch for Frame by Frame. As Partner and Creative Director, he worked with prestigious clients such as ESPN, CBS Sports, Fendi, AS Roma, and the Miami Dolphins. He also played a crucial role in branding Curaleaf, now the largest Cannabis company in the U.S., from naming the company to developing marketing strategies.

His career also included freelancing in Los Angeles, working with numerous agencies and clients, including Fox Sports. Responding to a call from SCAD, he returned to his alma mater as an associate chair before being promoted to Department Chair of the Graphic Design Department, the largest of its kind globally.

Michael is an independent Creative/Art Director & Designer based in Savannah, GA. His career is a testament to his versatility and extensive expertise, which continue to influence his professional activities.

Mikulec is recognized for his professional prowess and personal achievements. He is a proud father, a three-time Sports Emmy Award winner, and a recipient of several Promax/BDA Awards. His portfolio features designs for notable entities such as TRUtv, CW, Fenway Park's 100th Anniversary, and NBC's coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Beyond his creative endeavors, he has a passion for fine art, graphic design, travel, photography, and screenwriting. His particular love for travel was sparked during his time in Italy. His commitment to philanthropy is evident in his various charitable activities, including creating murals for the Greenbriar Children's Center and supporting young black creatives.

His contributions benefit organizations like the Red Cross, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and Mental Health America, reflecting his deep commitment to community service.

Michael Mikulec's career reflects a deep-seated creative expertise and a profound dedication to societal contributions, continually striving to impact the design world and beyond while championing the values of creativity, compassion, and community involvement.

I work as a director in the Value & Solution Engineering group for BMC Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation. My team of Solution Engineers works with clients all over the world helping them realize their Developer Experience dreams, which feeds right into maximizing their ability to contribute to DevOps, connecting the mainframe to the cloud in a unique and powerful way to enable more access to analytics, and overall a more agile mainframe experience. There is nothing more exciting than to have a client jump up and realize that they are not hindered by the platform, it is the assumptions about the platform that hold them back. Many people have stated that, after starting a DevOps journey, that they actually build and deploy code faster than their distributed partners, which is awesome to hear!

In my spare time, I have 4 adult children and a wife who is an accomplished stage and technical director. Between ballet, stage, and music, much of our time is taken up by the arts, but my wife and I have taken up off-roading in our lifted Jeep, so we can get away from it all and climb over big rocks, just because they are there. My technical passions outside of mainframe DevOps and cloud center around AI and Virtual Reality, because I see a revolution coming in how we build, consume, and leverage the digital world.
