Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJim Burnes is a seasoned systems and security-focused software engineer with over three decades of Internet engineering experience and a track record of delivering high-impact, pragmatic security and distributed systems solutions. As founder and senior engineer at Sensiant Systems he designed Node9, a secure hybrid distributed OS and high-performance concurrency primitives used in multicore neural research, and has driven security architecture and threat modeling at scale as a Principal Security Engineer at Amazon. His work spans low-level systems (kernel patches, lock-free messaging, secure schedulers) to cloud-native security programs (ransomware mitigation, FedRAMP/NIST compliance, OIDC/SAML SSO), showing rare fluency across hardware-adjacent and cloud platforms. Colleagues rely on him for turning complex risks into prioritized, auditable remediation plans and for pragmatic engineering that maximizes client ROI. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he pairs deep reverse-engineering and penetration-testing chops with production-grade software architecture and a history of shipping novel infrastructure tools.
