Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhil Burk is a senior technology leader with 24 years of experience blending hands-on audio and systems development with enterprise mobility management, currently leading Enterprise Mobility Management at Salesforce. He brings deep expertise in low-latency audio on Android—contributing to Google’s high-profile Oboe library—and a long history of experimental music software projects from HMSL and JSyn to WebDrum and MIDI 2.0 work. Equally comfortable fixing edge-case bugs in portable C projects (pforth) as designing scalable device-management strategies, he connects multimedia research-level craftsmanship with pragmatic production engineering. Based in Greater Indianapolis, he pairs a nontraditional academic background in library and information science, history and environmental design with a maker’s curiosity that surfaces in both open-source contributions and product leadership.
