About

Hi! I’m Burke - a front-end developer and Principal Developer Advocate at Microsoft. I spend my days helping developers get the most out of VS Code, GitHub, and AI-powered tools like Copilot. I create content across YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter, where I share tips, experiments, and the occasional bad joke about coding. I also built **Beast Mode**, a custom chat mode that pushes AI coding assistants to be more agentic and useful inside VS Code. Based in Nashville, TN, I’m also a bass player, blogger, and professional over-explainer of JavaScript.
