Lee Bernick is a Research Fellow and software engineer with seven years of experience building systems at the intersection of research and production, currently based in New York. He progressed from quantitative and lab roles into software engineering at Kensho and Google, then moved to Config before pivoting into alignment-focused research with ARENA and SPAR Research. Lee combines a physics background from MIT with hands-on experience in large-scale engineering and applied research, making him comfortable translating theoretical ideas into reliable code. His trajectory suggests a knack for tackling high-impact, interdisciplinary problems—moving from trading and lab internships to senior engineering and research fellowships in under a decade. Colleagues would describe him as analytically rigorous, product-minded, and drawn to work that bridges software engineering and safety-oriented AI research.
