Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Burgess is a Software Engineer on the Azure OS team at Microsoft with 13 years of engineering experience focused on bringing new VM sizes to cloud infrastructure and validating performance across hardware generations. He transitioned from a Psychology BA to a Computer Science degree and rapidly turned a long-standing passion for robotics into a software career, joining Microsoft shortly after finishing his post-baccalaureate studies. Early roles at Ceton gave him hands-on embedded systems experience—implementing HDMI CEC and dramatically improving ARM SWD firmware update reliability—which informs his pragmatic approach to systems and tooling. Based in Seattle, he combines cloud-scale validation work with an ongoing interest in AI, machine learning, and open source, often applying low-level debugging and automation skills to improve reliability and developer workflows.
