Summary
Lee Richardson is a Staff Software Engineer based in Los Angeles with 11 years of experience building user-facing web apps and backend services. Since 2016 he’s specialized in frontend work with JavaScript and React, and over the past few years has expanded into full-stack microservice development in Java/Spring Boot at Headspace. He balances product-focused UI craftsmanship (and an unusual love of CSS) with pragmatic backend engineering, owning API design, testing, and CI/CD across AWS and Terraform-driven environments. Lee has experience bootstrapping new codebases, orchestrating auth flows with AWS Cognito, and leading web chapters to improve delivery and quality. Born and raised on Hawaii’s Big Island, he keeps personal recipes in Markdown on GitHub and is quietly working toward Spanish fluency.
