Hello.

My name is Shawn McKee. I’m an experienced software architect and app engineer.

I live in the Bay Area, developing applications for mobile, web, and desktop devices with a particular focus on building quality user experiences. I have contributed to, or led the development of, a wide range of products from health and insurance apps to social and consumer media.

I love working and collaborating with product, design, and platform teams to create the best experiences possible, using the best technologies available.
