Charlie Lee was born in 1977 to Chinese parents in the West African nation of Ivory Coast, where his parents had lived since the 1960s. When he was thirteen, the family moved to the United States. After graduating from the Lawrenceville School, a prep school in New Jersey, in 1995, Lee earned both a B.S. (1999) and a M.Eng. (2000) in Computer Scien...
