Francis Craven

Founder · Lead Engineer

I spent twenty years in restaurants — it was the family trade. But I'd always been the one building systems behind the scenes, finding better ways to make things work. When I finally committed to software full-time, it wasn't a pivot. It was coming home.

I taught 350+ developers full-stack JavaScript at Columbia Engineering, then built production systems that influenced $1.5M/month in e-commerce revenue. After a decade in the industry, I founded SeaRaven Studios to do what I do best — build serious infrastructure for businesses that need it.

SeaRaven Studios is what happens when twenty years of reading people meets a decade of reading code. I don't just build websites — I build the infrastructure that lets small businesses operate like they're ten times their size. Every project in this portfolio was architected and built by hand. No templates, no page builders, no shortcuts.
