Ben Burbank

Sr. Manager of DX Engineering

I am a passionate technologist who loves to make life easier for developers and tech enthusiasts. When DevOps was first getting started I jumped in with both feet joining the community in 2015 and bringing those learnings back to American Airlines. In 2017 I stood up the Dojo coaching practices at American Airlines where we worked with teams to improve their overall development skills, tech stack and their ability to deliver value sooner while meeting the necessary security controls. Today I lead the DX platform teams who complement the Dojo in ensuring developer experience is a delight and promotes technical excellence.

Tim Haagenson has 15 years of experience in software development and has dedicated his career to agile ways of working. As a developer, technical lead and now product manager, he has played a part in transforming development teams at multiple companies, resulting in their ability to deploy value daily.
