Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDrew Mills is a versatile software engineer with 12 years of experience solving hard, low-level problems across embedded systems, macOS/iOS, Windows, and backend web services. He excels at reverse engineering and bare-metal work—designing firmware, USB protocol handlers, and PCBs—while also shipping higher-level products like ScreenCaptureKit-enabled macOS apps and Spring Boot backends. At Apple he helped partners adopt platform technologies and optimize open-source components for Apple Silicon, and at Duet Display he recently migrated macOS capture to a new architecture to support a remote-access business model. He contributed significant controller support to the well-known 360Controller project, adapting Xbox One reports into Xbox 360 formats and adding rumble and Southpaw features. Comfortable operating independently, Drew thrives when dropped into ambiguity and consistently turns unknowns into shipped solutions. He combines deep systems expertise with practical product delivery, from driver-level tweaks to customer-facing application features.
