Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLisa Burns is a software engineer and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building scalable cloud-native systems and developer tooling from the front-end to platform infrastructure. Based in San Francisco, she has led teams at VMware/Pivotal and shipped billing, usage metrics, and event-based architectures at LiveRamp using Rails, React, Kubernetes and modern data pipelines. She pairs hands-on contributions — including React UI work on the civic We Vote WebApp — with manager-level ownership of integrations, releases, and platform reliability. Her background in bioengineering (BS UCSD, MS Stanford) and early product roles give her a practiced intuition for translating domain needs into usable, production-ready software. Currently balancing technical work with a surprising creative side as the author of three editions of Moon Travel Galapagos Islands, she brings both engineering rigor and a storyteller’s attention to detail.
