Summary
Jorge Lee is a seasoned senior software engineer with 14 years of experience building scalable systems and leading cross-functional teams, currently working on electric boat systems at Arc in San Francisco. He has a strong background in infrastructure and platform engineering—from leading an AWS migration as Director of Infrastructure at Revinate to staff-plus engineering roles at Credit Karma—balancing hands-on coding with architectural and delivery leadership. Jorge’s toolkit spans distributed systems, containers, Kubernetes, messaging, and search technologies, and he’s comfortable moving between JVM stacks and polyglot environments shaped by his consulting roots at ThoughtWorks. He’s known for rescuing complex projects through pragmatic engineering practices like TDD, pair programming, and automation, and for mentoring teams through technical transitions. Though his GitHub profile humbly calls him “just another geek,” his career reflects deep operational experience across startups and enterprise environments and a knack for translating legacy systems into cloud-native platforms.
