👋🏻 I'm Lee

I’m a Senior Program Manager at GitHub on the Developer Relations team, working at the intersection of AI, open source, and developer experience.

I design and run programs, organize events, and build initiatives that help developers learn, create, and connect—from hackathons and game jams to experimental AI-driven workflows.

My work blends structure and creativity: part program builder, part community architect, part creative technologist.

I’m especially interested in:

  • AI-assisted development & creative tooling
  • Game development as a medium for learning and experimentation
  • Open source ecosystems and community growth
  • Designing meaningful developer experiences (DX)

I like shipping things, experimenting in public, and helping others build.

Recent GitHub Blog posts:

My job has literally nothing to do with video games or game development. That said, there's a good chance the list of blog posts below will have something to with games. Consider it a hobby!

Recent publications:

Well, not exactly "recent", but these are from my former life working in bioinformatics.
