Significant Professional or Academic Accomplishments: While SUNY College Old Westbury graduate, Deon Lee, spends most of his time configuring and installing software at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in his personal life, his passion is drawing. Lee loves art and painting, but he knew that a career in computer science would be more realistic. He pursued a degree in computer science with a minor in visual arts. Lee was hired part-time as a student assistant to work in BNL’s Information Technology Division through CSTEP / AMP. After graduating with a B.S. in computer science, Lee was hired as a customer support analyst on a one-year professional associate internship in the Internet Technology Division.

Now, in addition to his work in the Information Technology Division at BNL, Lee also does freelance graphics designing and website development.

“I feel lucky that I can incorporate my love of art with my interest in computing,” says Lee.
