Mars Lee is a tech educator and front-end developer who leverages seven years of experience to make data science more visual, accessible, and fun. Based in New York, they build accessible, modern interfaces for open-source Python projects and created practical visual guides like "How to Contribute to NumPy" and alt-text best practices. Mars blends hands-on JavaScript, React, Node/Express, MySQL and React Native skills with open-source contributions to high-profile projects such as NumPy—where they improved documentation and made targeted core changes to string casting and build configuration. A creative communicator and organizer, they translate intersectional activism and multicultural event experience into educational programs and cohort-driven open science instruction. Outside code, Mars produces the Codesprite comic series to demystify technical concepts, underscoring a rare mix of design, pedagogy, and engineering.
