Summary
Lee Whittaker is a seasoned Software Engineer and founder with 12 years of experience building revenue-critical Rails applications for SaaS, e-commerce, and government platforms. He thinks like a founder, making architecture choices that directly drive measurable business outcomes—most notably tripling a decade-old business’s revenue to $945K ARR by replacing manual workflows with a custom multi-tenant Rails platform. Lee excels at resilient, containerized systems and high-volume job pipelines that maintain 100% uptime under peak demand, and he’s cut sprint delivery time dramatically through precise architectural planning and resource allocation. As a solo full‑stack developer and technical co‑founder, he’s shipped real‑time WebSocket coordination, QR-based automation, and multi‑gigabyte upload processing, blending deep Rails/Postgres expertise with practical operational savvy. Based in Orem, Utah, he continues to lead product-focused engineering both as a hands‑on contributor and as founder of WhittakerTech.
