Lee Winter

Senior Systems Architect & Game Services Strategist

Palm Beach, FL • ***.*.*.******@*****.*** • 603-***-**** PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Senior systems architect, platform engineer, and expert-level build systems designer with over four decades of innovation in gaming infrastructure, DevOps, distributed systems, and backend services. Known for pioneering tools and platforms that reduce development friction and accelerate delivery — including elite-class build systems and middleware. Former architect of foundational technologies behind major gaming platforms, early member of the MIT Strategic Gaming Society, and performance optimizer behind the legendary MegaWars III on CompuServe.

Core technical strengths include high-scale concurrency management, systems integration, compiler and parser design, and expert system architecture. Skilled in both low-level optimization and enterprise-scale systems thinking. Adept at cross-functional team leadership, with a background in building high-performance engineering orgs from scratch (15 to 65 people in 10 months).

Never just a coder — Lee is a systems thinker, a pattern spotter, and a technical architect trusted to rewire infrastructure at its roots.

SELECTED PROJECTS & IMPACT

MegaWars III Optimization — CompuServe

Reverse-engineered and optimized critical subsystems of the popular online game MegaWars III, becoming one of the top players by mastering both strategic play and system-level mechanics. Worked directly with game engine constraints to improve performance and ensure fair play integrity at scale.

TF Software, Inc. — Architect & CTO

Founded and scaled an enterprise software company from concept to 65-person team in under 10 months. Created a patented expert-system-based build and deployment engine.

● First paying client (regional hotel chain) signed within 4 months

● Delivered real-time build coordination platform designed for complex, interdependent systems

● Company backed by elite-level investors led by Joe Flom NinGen by LIM Software

Invented NinGen, a massively parallel build system and expert-script generator designed for elite dev teams.

● Automated build script generation and execution

● Eliminated manual scripting and debugging

● Demonstrated 12+ hours per developer per week in reclaimed productivity

● Technology still ahead of most industry solutions but was never commercialized due to non-technical factors

Interval Arithmetic Engine

Designed a mathematically robust interval arithmetic library with applications in high-reliability computing, verification, and simulation systems. Lauded by academics but not yet commercialized — an untapped IP opportunity.

LEADERSHIP & STRATEGY

Built and led cross-functional orgs including engineering, QA, documentation, support, and systems integration. Skilled at identifying talent and organizing lean, high-impact teams. Trusted to architect from whiteboard to shipping infrastructure. EDUCATION

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Strategic Gaming Society — Invited Member

Advanced coursework in mathematics, systems design, and computational logic.
