PROFILE

John Millikin

John Millikin developed and integrated advanced build system features across Bazel and grpc/bazel-central-registry, focusing on robust dependency management and cross-platform tooling. He engineered platform-independent file operations and enabled WebAssembly execution within Bazel repository rules using Starlark and Java, expanding Bazel’s capabilities for experimental workflows. In grpc/bazel-central-registry, John streamlined module integration for Java parsing tools and Chicory, wiring custom build rules and presubmit checks to ensure reproducible builds. He also addressed low-level issues such as JSON output consistency and x86 instruction decoding in Ghidra, demonstrating depth in C++, system programming, and build automation while maintaining traceability and code quality.
