Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAngela Burton is a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with 11 years of experience building secure, production-grade developer tools and cloud experiences from her work at Microsoft and now Riverlane in Seattle. She has deep expertise in build pipelines, security tooling, and developer SDKs—having driven monthly releases and security compliance for the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit and enabled Q# experiences across Azure Notebooks, Jupyter, and CLIs. Angela pairs full-stack development skills with release engineering and CI/CD stewardship, and has contributed to high-profile open-source quantum projects (Microsoft/Quantum and QuantumKatas), improving docs, CI agents, and tutorial content. Beyond code, she mentors interns, coordinates cross-team security efforts, and has a track record of making complex tooling more usable and maintainable. Unusually for an infrastructure engineer, she also has hands-on experience adding educational quantum tutorials and kernel-level Jupyter work, bridging research-facing tooling with developer ergonomics.
