Eric Burns is an AI engineer and Fellow at Lockheed Martin with 14 years of software engineering experience focused on augmenting human intelligence through AI tools that improve problem-solving and decision-making. He leads small full-stack teams end-to-end, blending MLOps, DevSecOps, and CI/CD with expertise in React, Node.js, C#, Java, and C++ to deliver data-intensive, 3D/extended-reality, and real-time collaborative applications. His background includes a PhD in Computer Science and long-standing work in simulation-based learning, virtual environments, and human-computer interaction—areas where he has designed user studies and deployed training and rehabilitation systems. Known for integrating generative AI into human workflows, he pairs hands-on implementation with technical writing, teaching, and team mentoring. Beyond engineering, Eric has a track record of civic and youth mentoring roles and practical experience bridging legacy simulation standards with modern web and XR clients.
