# Jack Burns

Staff Engineer

I’m Jack — I build and scale distributed systems that make AI and data platforms work better together. I’ve been working with workflow orchestration since the Cadence days (yep, before Temporal existed), writing the C# SDK and contributing to the Go one too. These days, I lead Temporal and data streaming platforms at Nordstrom, help teams design resilient architectures, and occasionally give talks about automation and orchestration at scale.
