About Me

Aloha! I’m Laurence A. Lee, a Cloud Platform Engineer and Technical Solutions Architect with 15+ years of experience delivering full-stack solutions.

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, with roots in Honolulu, Hawaii, I specialize in crafting full-stack solutions — web and mobile front-ends paired with custom Ruby on Rails back-ends or third-party APIs.

My builds leverage Angular and Ionic Framework for front-ends; and cloud hosting platforms like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, and Linode for back-ends — all underpinned by modern SRE practices for reliability and scale.

I thrive on tackling complex challenges, from optimizing CI/CD pipelines to ensuring zero-downtime deployments and architecting scalable platforms for in-house teams. My passion? Delivering innovative, rock-solid systems that transform chaos into order, one cluster at a time. Dive into my projects to see how I make it happen.

Meh. I can sling Rust if I need to, but it's such an ugly, hyper-decorated language that I often defer to AI to write the tedious stuff and let me focus on the logic.
