Jack Diver is a senior software engineer with nine years of specialist experience in graphics and GPU software, currently building graphics drivers for Apple Silicon after leading Pixel GPU work at Google. He blends R&D instincts from creative studios like The Mill with production-grade backend and build-system expertise, evidenced by contributions to Perfetto's instrumentation tooling and repeated fixes that smoothed complex dependency builds. Comfortable moving between research prototypes and ship-ready drivers, Jack has a strong foundation in computer graphics from Bournemouth University and a track record at Imagination Technologies and disguise. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he often surfaces subtle integration issues early, reducing downstream build and performance risks.
