Shereen Lee
Hello! I'm Shereen, a writer & programmer. With a background in mechanical engineering at UBC, I currently work on data ontologies at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
My writing for Engineers and Geoscientists BC received a 2026 National Magazine Award in B2B publishing, and my work in AI for scientific research won the global Built with Claude: Life Sciences challenge, hosted by Anthropic and Gladstone Institutes.
I'd love to get in touch! Please email me at shereenlee.hi [at] gmail [dot] com.
