About

I’m Robert Burke.

I’m a Canadian, living in Seattle.

I am a software developer. I enjoy programming in Go. I’ve also used C++, Java, Javascript, Typescript, and Python, but I learned from the experience, so that’s nice. I currently do so at Google.

I’m a PMC of Apache Beam, and work on its Go SDK.

I might be caught running, indoor rock climbing. I’ve also been known to sing a capella, as a bass. I enjoy playing Destiny 2, and Dungeons and Dragons, watching content by LoadingReadyRun, and support the Desert Bus for Hope charity drive. I’ve been a repeat attendee of the JoCoCruise.

The following are also me:

You’ll probably have the best luck contacting me casually via Bluesky.
