About Lee P.

I’m a senior full-stack software engineer with a strong track record of building and scaling production platforms that drive meaningful business outcomes, including architecting a core marketplace and data platform whose technology assets were acquired and integrated by a leading industry operator. I specialize in translating complex business and user needs into reliable, high-impact technical solutions across modern front-end frameworks (React, Svelte/SvelteKit), backend systems (Node.js, FastAPI), and cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS.I’ve led large-scale system re-architectures, integrated enterprise hardware and payment systems, launched revenue-generating data APIs, and reduced operational costs and technical debt through thoughtful design and automation. I’m known for pragmatic technical leadership, close cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring engineers—pairing strong product intuition with disciplined engineering to deliver scalable, user-friendly systems in fast-paced environments.
