Top SchoolAustin Lee is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building user-focused web applications and public-sector tools, currently at Google.org on CiviForm to simplify access to public benefits.

Austin emphasizes software as a social practice—prioritizing usability, equity, and solutions for marginalized communities—and has spoken about bias in data-driven decision making. Pragmatic and collaborative, he has shipped features at scale across Maps, Local Search, and government open-data platforms, and brings a track record of turning research prototypes into production improvements that measurably reduce friction.
