About


Welcome to my personal website. My name is Richard Burd and I currently work as a front end web developer. I have a broad professional background that includes leadership, analysis, technical design, and field testing.

Over the course of my professional life I have developed a skill that I call schematic visualization. This involves the creation of drawings that attempt to communicate complex information to people who otherwise would not understand it. In the past I have used such drawings to brief generals and civilian C-suite decisionmakers, synergize different engineering disciplines (working on the same project) and document design work so it can be better understood by others. As of late, my interest has shifted from graphics to written text in the form of prompt engineering as a way to better understand complex systems.

My current interests include AI, aviation, web3, energy policy, and future military conflicts. The best way to get ahold of me is with the email below. Thank you for visiting my site!
