Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Nykia Scruggs, founder of CR SoftStack.
This brand was created with a clear mission: to make smart tools and practical guidance accessible to everyone, particularly for individuals who often feel left behind as the digital world advances.
I’ve worked in IT for over 20 years, supporting enterprise systems, leading technology initiatives, and helping teams enhance their performance and deliver results. I’m also someone who believes deeply in simplifying the complex and giving people tools they can actually use, not just more noise.
Our Mission
To support people with practical tools that meet them where they are.
To create digital products that feel human, helpful, and empowering.
To make space for people who want technology that works for them, not the other way around.
Why I Started CR SoftStack
The idea for CR SoftStack began with a single moment at a tech conference. There was a session about how AI would shape the future, and the conversation turned to access, who would benefit, and who might be left out.
I immediately thought of my mother. She raised three kids in a small town, with limited resources but no shortage of curiosity or capability. Still, she represents the kind of person often overlooked by rapid innovation.
That moment stayed with me. It reminded me that my knowledge and experience could be used to bridge that gap. Not just for her, but for anyone who wants to use technology to make life better, without needing to become a tech expert.
What We Do at CR SoftStack
CR SoftStack creates digital resources that make AI and everyday tech more approachable.
Whether you're over 40, living in an area with limited digital access, or simply feeling overwhelmed by tech jargon, our ebooks, tools, and guides are here to help. We design for clarity and ease, with real-life use in mind.
Our products are for everyone, but we especially keep in mind those who:
Are navigating a world of technology that doesn’t speak their language
Have lived full lives and now want to work smarter, not harder
Want support that feels practical, not performative
We believe learning should feel empowering, not exhausting.
