I am an engineering leader with 17+ years of experience who scaled Snap's notification system 100x to send 5 billion daily notifications and architected the YouTube Partner Program which generates billions in annual revenue. I am now focused on using AI to build the next generation of development tools.
// AI project highlights - solo development
The future of development will be an act of high-level direction, with autonomous AI agents handling over 90% of the coding, testing, and review. I've built multiple products/prototypes to prove this out (https://github.com/jleechanorg)
- Alpha launch of Consensus ML a multi AI research agent (http://consensus-ml.ai)
- Built a GenAI role-playing game that solved for long-term narrative drift, maintaining a coherent story for over 100 turns (pre-launch).
- Created an open-source natural language framework using Claude Code for a team of autonomous AI agents (3-5 coders, 4 reviewers) to collaborate on complex projects.
Generated over 900 pull requests in one month with a median merge time of 42 minutes and ~70% unit test coverage. https://github.com/jleechanorg/claude-commands
// My key professional achievements include:
Snap Inc. (Software Engineering Manager, 2018-Present): I scaled the notification system 100x from 50 million to 5 billion daily messages by leading its re-architecture from a monolith to a microservice platform. I co-designed an ML pipeline for notification ranking, grew my organization to 24 engineers peak (notifications + profile), and now shifted to focus on solely leading the 12-person Profiles team, a core product surface viewed by over 300 million daily users.
YouTube / Google (Staff Software Engineer, 2008-2018): As the Founding Architect of the YouTube Partner Program, I designed and built the core systems that created the modern creator economy, enabling it to scale to millions of partners and generate billions in annual revenue. I later served as Tech Lead for YouTube Notifications, scaling its delivery to billions daily.
I hold several key patents from my time at Google in areas like video revenue sharing and content recommendation. I graduated with a Bachelor of Mathematics in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo.

When I was uncertain about my next steps, he guided me through a thoughtful assessment of my situation and outlined possible paths forward. He encouraged me to proactively explore opportunities, even when I lacked confidence—and in the end, it paid off! With his wealth of experience in big tech, Jeff generously shared his insights and perspectives, which proved incredibly helpful. I’m truly grateful for his mentorship and guidance.

The prospect of building a tool seemed both exciting and daunting. I have no software development skills but have a lot of experience in marketing and advertising. That's where Jeff came in, helping me navigate this new challenge. At the start, I wasn't sure if I could really do this because I knew only a little about software development. But Jeff was encouraging and knew how to make things simple for me. He could simplify complex tech ideas into something I could understand. No matter when I needed help, Jeff was there to guide me through each step, making sure I was keeping up. He helped me piece together my project from understanding what I needed to do, who to hire, how to manage developers and how to design it well. It was challenging, but Jeff's practical tasks and clear explanations helped me apply what I was learning directly to building the tool. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and considered stopping. However, Jeff was always a supportive mentor. He encouraged me to think like a problem solver, which really helped me push through the tough times. The tool I built with Jeff's help is finally live. It represents not just a functional product but my growth in a new field. I'm looking forward to improving it further, using the foundations he helped me build. For anyone new to tech, having a mentor like Jeff ca be transformative. It’s about more than learning new skills; it’s about building confidence and learning to tackle challenges head-on. I started with experience in marketing and now, thanks to Jeff, I’ve turned that into a successful venture into technology.
