Mike Lee is a product-focused technologist and founder with 14+ years building high-scale B2C and B2B platforms, currently leading product at tuuthfairy after a long tenure at Indeed where he ran foundational platforms powering billions of applications and communications. A Y Combinator/Imagine K12 alumnus and cofounder of edshelf (acquired by TeachMe), he blends startup grit with enterprise-grade reliability, driving APIs, resume parsing, notifications, and omni-channel messaging at scale. He pairs hands-on engineering experience—from frontend to mobile—with product strategy, organizational design, and hiring techniques that have grown teams across the US and India. Mike’s work emphasizes customer-first UX, lean/agile delivery, and measurable business outcomes like improved monetization and dramatic incident reductions. Beyond product metrics he’s passionate about education and developer communities, serving on K-12 edtech advisory boards and creating discovery tools that reached a majority of US school IT departments.
