Top SchoolJames Mills is a Senior Manager of Product Experience Engineering at Red Hat with 15+ years building and leading teams that deliver embedded Linux platforms, systems integration, and automated build/test pipelines.

His background spans avionics and SatCom systems, in-flight entertainment, and complex on-aircraft troubleshooting, giving him rare operational insight into deployed mission-critical systems. At Red Hat he has driven release planning and support policy decisions for RHEL and container-focused Atomic Host technologies. Notably, he has a track record of turning manual build-and-test workflows into robust CI systems and of integrating disparate development groups into repeatable release processes. He pairs technical depth with practical customer empathy, informed by years of field support and cross-functional program management.
