Summary
Chase Lee is a full-stack software engineer with nine years of experience building performant web and mobile applications from the Pacific Northwest. He has driven measurable impact at Best Buy and Best Buy Ads—architecting a React/Redux business portal that cut page load times from ~15 seconds to under 1 second and building Node.js reporting APIs for media products—while earlier delivering a React Native app and real-time event pipelines at a VC-backed startup. Comfortable across JavaScript, React, React Native, Svelte, Express and Go, he pairs frontend polish with backend reliability, CI/CD improvements, and cloud-native deployments (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS). Chase values maintainable, scalable code and cross-functional collaboration with designers and product teams, and he brings a hands-on, metrics-driven mindset to feature design and performance optimization. Outside of work he channels creativity and resilience into surfing, hiking, live music and cooking—interests that feed his collaborative, user-focused approach to engineering.
