Craig Gomes

Systems design engineer, entrepreneur, and author focused on building coherent digital and operational systems that scale with intent.

My work began with design, but it never stayed there. Early on, I was drawn not just to how things looked, but to how they worked together — interfaces, architecture, performance, workflows, and the underlying logic that allows products and businesses to grow without breaking. Over time, this curiosity evolved into a career centered on designing, engineering, launching, and scaling systems, rather than shipping isolated deliverables.

I've built across a wide spectrum: websites, web applications, software platforms, digital products, written work, and startups. What ties all of it together is a systems-first approach — understanding constraints, defining structure, and designing for longevity rather than short-term wins.

Today, I'm the Founder & CEO of Pixelvise, where I work with companies that need more than templates or surface-level design. At Pixelvise, we design and engineer digital platforms with a strong emphasis on architecture, performance, maintainability, and clarity. Our work spans complex WordPress ecosystems, custom web platforms, and system-driven digital foundations built to evolve over time.

Since its inception, Pixelvise has worked with over 500 brands globally — from early-stage startups to large organizations — including ITC, Dropbox, Amazon, Google, and Marriott. Through this work, I've had the opportunity to influence how millions of users interact with web platforms every day — particularly within the WordPress ecosystem — by prioritizing robustness over convenience and systems over shortcuts.

Alongside digital systems, I also operate in a very different, highly regulated domain. I'm the founder of Axentra International LLP, a pharmaceutical API export company operating at the intersection of compliance, documentation, logistics, and international trade. Here, the challenges are operational rather than visual — but the thinking remains the same. Clear systems, defined processes, and accountability are what enable reliability at scale, especially in environments where precision is non-negotiable.

Across ventures, my role is not limited to design or execution alone. I work deeply across strategy, architecture, operations, and ownership, ensuring that what gets built can survive real-world complexity. I'm particularly interested in the long-term implications of decisions — technical, organizational, and structural — and how early clarity prevents downstream failure.

As an author and writer, I document ideas around systems, design, technology, and business — not as trends, but as disciplines that reward patience and rigor. I believe good systems are quiet. They don't demand attention; they earn trust over time.

At the core of everything I do is a simple principle:
build things that last — structurally, technically, and ethically.
