Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMax Lee is an AI researcher and software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building distributed systems, embedded and robotics solutions, and secure software. Based in San Francisco, he’s launched and sold startups, led product engineering as a founding engineer, and now builds next-generation LLM interfaces at FR8. His background spans full-stack product launches (from real-time chat and typing-test apps to an AI-powered email client) and practical growth hacks—for one edtech venture he turned $180 into viral reach and 178k users. Comfortable across low-level systems and high-level ML interfaces, he blends research curiosity with rapid product execution and a knack for turning prototypes into user-facing scale. Non-obvious: he started shipping impactful consumer-facing projects as a teen, demonstrating early product sense paired with deep technical breadth.
