David Lee is a software engineer and urban technologist with 12 years of experience building data-driven urban information systems, web mapping tools, and prototypes that bridge research and production. Trained at MIT with a PhD in Urban Planning, he has led research at the MIT SENSEable City Lab, taught as an assistant professor at KAIST, and shipped products in startups and engineering roles at Flux.io, Envelope City, Outer Labs, and Ready.net. His technical toolkit spans Python, JavaScript, GIS, Linux server and database administration, CAD, and visualization, enabling end-to-end delivery from data analysis to public-facing interfaces. Comfortable translating complex urban research into practical tools, he’s driven participatory sensing and community-engaged projects with an eye toward lasting urban legacy—he even aspires to contribute to the planning of an Olympic Games. Notably, his background combines academic rigor with hands-on systems engineering, making him effective at turning urban data into actionable design and policy insights.
