    • Chris Bursk, PMP

      Project Engineer - Harris Robotics

    • I am passionate about people and technology. Over the years I have gravitated from an individual contributor to leadership roles. I enjoy roles that enable me to mentor, train, and grow my team member’s skills and careers. I am a visually based person and greatly interested in user interface design and human-machine interactions. I am involved in designing web based user interfaces that leverage the amazing JavaScript libraries available today – such as jQuery, AngularJS, and Node. My teams make use of Amazon’s Web Services and Docker containers to deploy software solutions. In past assignments I led user interface design and implementation on Android devices, Java, C#, and Visual C++ for Windows platforms.

    • It's all about the team. Work hard, be positive, and support each other. Together we can do great things.
