Mike Miller is a seasoned software engineer with 17 years of experience specializing in embedded and real-time C development, Linux systems programming, and deployment automation for cloud and on-prem architectures. Currently a Principal Engineer at Synamedia and active with the Icosa Foundation, he blends low-level firmware and motor-control work (notably on Xiaomi Dafang hacks) with modern cloud-native toolchains like Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. He has led security research teams, built CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), and designed blue/green and canary upgrade systems for complex distributed products. A regex guru and longtime Linux admin, he pairs pragmatic scripting (Perl, shell, Python in progress) with robust testing and QA practices honed across STB, RDK, and media platforms. Beyond shipping production systems, he contributes to prominent open-source projects such as Open Brush, improving cross-platform builds and automated releases. Colleagues rely on him for clear, concise communication and for translating tricky embedded constraints into maintainable, deployable solutions.
