💻 My IT Story
13+ years building enterprise systems at John Deere — and now building websites for fun too.
Built with AI on AWS. This website — including this page — was designed and built using Claude AI, hosted on an AWS EC2 instance. It's a personal project that puts my IT skills to use outside of work, combining cloud infrastructure, web development, and a healthy obsession with LEGO.

🧱 So where does LegoLee fit in?
After 13+ years building enterprise-scale systems at John Deere — SAP migrations, cloud infrastructure, API security, e-commerce platforms — LegoLee is what happens when those skills get applied to something personal.
This site runs on an AWS EC2 instance, built with Python and Flask, deployed behind Nginx, and now enhanced with Claude AI. Every piece of it is intentional — a way to keep building, keep learning, and keep having fun with technology outside of work.
It's also where the LEGO obsession lives. Brick by brick.
