Craig contributed to the RConsortium/rconsortium_website by delivering a suite of content and infrastructure enhancements over three months. He built and published a multi-post R Community Blog Series, improved accessibility through consolidated alt text, and refreshed the site’s front page with new images and descriptions. Using R, Markdown, and GitHub Actions, Craig upgraded CI workflows to R 4.5.0, managed package dependencies, and streamlined content migrations with redirects and YAML corrections. He also enhanced repository hygiene by refining .gitignore rules and improved data presentation on the CFP page with GT and dplyr, resulting in a more maintainable and accessible website.

In March 2025, delivered end-to-end content work for the RConsortium website, centering on the R Community Blog Series: 2024-2025 Highlights and Case Studies. The consolidated set of seven blog posts showcases 2024 community events, programs, and case studies, including data simulation in healthcare, community revival efforts, public health data analysis, Oracle Machine Learning for R, RUGS program grants, and Pfizer's transition from SAS to R. The effort included content creation, publishing, and quality improvements (fixing a broken link and updating headings) and content expansion (Warsaw post; R for Public Health; 2024 RUGS grant; Pfizer blog), plus a webinar archive update for the Oracle Machine Learning post. All posts were published within the month with attention to accessibility and consistency. Impact includes strengthened community engagement, increased visibility for R adoption, and a robust, shareable knowledge base. Technologies/skills demonstrated include content strategy and editorial execution, CMS publishing, Git/version-control traceability through commits, and cross-functional collaboration across data-driven and community-focused topics.
