He's worked at Amazon, Meta, and Google... But that's not what I found most interesting about Lee McKeeman!
While Lee has lots of awesome experiences (in AND outside of work), one of them that really got me interested was becoming an engineering manager and transitioning back to a software engineer. It's not that this is unheard of, but it's not a common one that I get to talk to others about!
Lee shares some of his ups and downs on his extensive career journey, and I'm super thankful that I had the opportunity to chat with him!
