Lee Flannery
@leeflannery
Full stack engineer & developer relations educator. Reference code, docs, quickstarts, and videos that get developers to adopt tech faster.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hands-on Solutions Engineer and technical educator with 20+ years of experience across software development, architecture, and developer enablement. I’ve shipped software used by millions and now focus on helping developer products reach adoption through clear implementation assets: demos, quickstarts, docs, videos, and reference apps.
I work well where product, engineering, and developer experience overlap. My background includes mobile, web, frontend architecture, technical content, developer onboarding, and internal enablement. I’m strongest with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and modern AI-assisted developer workflows.
I’m looking for remote opportunities where I can help a company bridge the gap between a powerful product and real developer adoption.
