I’m a Toronto-based Client Partner and Senior Director at EPAM, where my life spans digital product development, data & emerging technologies, cycling, public transit, photography, and fixing my sons’ robots with crazy glue
This site has information about a few of my past projects, and links to some of my contributions scattered across the internet. It’s increasingly out of date and I appreciate your understanding about that. Contact me through LinkedIn, or by sending me e-mail at rob at robburke dot net
At EPAM I’m part of a global team of our key Canadian clients.
Before EPAM, I joined the world of digital system design at Infusion, a technology innovation leader that’s now part of Avanade. Our focus there was emerging technology for FinServ, Professional Services and Resources industries.
Before that, I was a Microsoft technical evangelist (remember when that was a thing?!), based in Dublin, Ireland.
In grad school I studied artificial intelligence at MIT as part of the Synthetic Characters group at the MIT Media Lab, working toward brain architectures in multi-agent systems inspired by ethology, the study of animal behaviour. After graduating, I designed and built biometric interfaces (EEG, ECG and other) in the MindGames group at MIT Media Lab Europe in Dublin, Ireland.
This is my “holo-selfie”, taken with a Gen-1 HoloLens a few years ago during Star Trek and Chill. The HoloLens really takes the years off, no?
