Summary
Katie Lee is a software engineer focused on ethical AI and generative models, currently building products on Meta AI after completing a computer science degree at Princeton. With eight years of hands-on experience spanning internships at Bloomberg and Shopify, she has shipped production systems including a Solr-backed vector search that measurably improved semantic search precision. She combines strong data and engineering skills—Pyspark, Python, SQL, Neo4j—with maker-focused prototyping from her years running a university Makerspace and teaching 3D printing and laser cutting. Early leadership in student organizations and a history of founding a high-school club and a small recycled-products business show she pairs technical rigor with community-oriented, entrepreneurial drive. Based in Menlo Park, she brings a pragmatic ethics-first perspective to building scalable AI features that emphasize interpretability and real-world impact.
