Hi! I’m Lee, an agile leader and UX expert based in Atlanta, Georgia, doing a little every day to make our world safer and more connected. I work with companies of all sizes to build better user-focused experiences.
I began my career as a full stack developer. Working for start ups and Fortune 500 companies, I then grew into roles as a UI/UX engineer, project manager, then people leader and agile coach for software teams. I specialize in growing high performing teams of developers and designers and strategic process improvement.
