Jason Burke

Leadership, Security & Compliance

• Direct daily IT operations and lead a small technical team across infrastructure, DevOps, and security engineering for a CJIS/NLETS-scoped platform serving law enforcement agencies nationwide.
• Own GovRAMP/CJIS compliance execution toward 3PAO Core authorization: built and scripted (idempotent, rollback-safe) a 9-field CMDB covering 88 Windows and Linux VMs, and actively manage 7+ control families (configuration management, system/communications protection, access control, system integrity).
• Directed SOC 2 remediation and recurring Purple Team security engagements — closing critical/high vulnerability findings from pentests (including RCE, insecure TLS, and exposed debug endpoints), rolling out JIT local-admin controls, and hardening VPN, EDR, and firewall posture.
• Built and presented a 136-VM Azure Government cost and workload-tiering analysis to leadership to inform a hybrid cloud-vs-on-prem infrastructure investment decision.
• Manage enterprise IT budget and vendor negotiations, driving cost optimization across storage, licensing, and hardware lifecycle.

Infrastructure & Cloud Engineering

• Modernized 50+ applications and 135 servers, migrating legacy workloads to Azure GovCloud and a Docker Swarm container platform (multi-node clustering, registry auth, Compose v3 stacks).
• Rolled out Ansible and Terraform infrastructure-as-code across a hybrid Windows/Linux estate, resolving a multi-layer authentication chain (DNS, WinRM, Kerberos) to automate DISA STIG baseline configuration.
• Led a legacy reporting modernization effort migrating Crystal Reports to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and SSIS pipelines.
• Architected secure Azure GovCloud networking, SQL, and storage; optimized CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, Jenkins, and Azure Git Runners.
• Directed enterprise-wide OS upgrades to Windows Server 2019/2022 on Cisco UCS; maintained 99.95% uptime using Veeam Backup & Replication v13, ExaGrid, and Nimble Storage for disaster recovery.

AI-Augmented Engineering

• Built an internal library of reusable Claude-based automation skills (infrastructure inventory, compliance evidence workflows, Jira/Confluence reporting, code-signing) to standardize recurring engineering and audit-prep work.
• Use Claude as an AI pair-engineer to refactor legacy application code, generate operational scripts, and run structured sprint/backlog reporting — cutting manual triage time across an active 300+ ticket infrastructure and security backlog.

• Managed daily operations for Windows and Linux servers, supporting end users and serving as the Tier 3 escalation point.
• Migrated physical servers to a virtualized VMware environment, improving recovery times and reducing hardware footprint.
