Zack Lee is a senior software engineer and creative technologist with nearly a decade of experience building open-source tools and full-stack web and mobile apps that make learning and creative expression more accessible. At Carnegie Learning he led development of UpGrade, an open-source A/B testing platform for education, and LiveHint AI, a generative math tutor trained to think like a student. He previously co-founded Iceblink Digital, shipped award-winning mobile music apps and a peer-to-peer marketplace, and created Ofelia, a real-time creative coding tool showcased at international festivals. Zack blends product-minded engineering with UX sensibility, frequently contributing to WebAssembly and browser-based audio/creative tooling. Based in Pittsburgh, he pairs research-driven experimentation with pragmatic shipping—often turning prototypes into funded, user-facing projects. Less obvious: he moves comfortably between mentoring roles (Google Summer of Code) and founding teams, making him equally effective in startups and research-driven product teams.
