Summary
Ian Lee is a veteran Lead Engineer with over 25 years in IT and a 13-year recent track record building enterprise-grade software across defense, healthcare, finance, and consulting. He combines deep expertise in Microsoft data platforms and .NET (MCDBA and MCSD certified) with hands-on experience from database architecture and cloud migrations to embedded/microcontroller tutoring. Ian has led architecture and full-lifecycle development for mission-critical systems—ranging from FAA/DoD-adjacent work at L3Harris to HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms and Azure migrations. A pragmatic problem solver and self-directed contributor, he moves fluidly between coding, design, and operational responsibilities and has a history of mentoring through community teaching and pro bono maker blogging. Based in Franklin, TN, he pairs institutional-scale engineering judgment with a maker’s curiosity for hardware and low-level systems.
