👋🏻 Hey, I’m Lee

Program Manager, Engineer, Developer Advocate, marketer, and experimenter working at the edge of AI-assisted software development at GitHub.

I’ve been at GitHub since 2011, wearing many hats (and still collecting more). I work at the intersection of engineering, product, developer relations, and community... building tools and bringing developers together through programs, events, and experiments.

Currently exploring what software development looks like in the age of AI - shipping projects, organizing events like Git Merge, GitHub Universe, Game Off, and helping create the spaces where developers thrive. Focused on ███ ██ and ██ ██ ███████ rn.

Honestly, it’s kind of a dream job.
