Low Level Systems Programmer at Gamepad Tester

Reads stick data natively at sub-millisecond intervals to sanity-check what the browser reports.

Gabriel is a low-level C programmer working on desktop input architecture. He builds native tooling that samples stick and trigger telemetry at sub-millisecond intervals, below the rate a browser can reach, which gives a reference measurement to compare a web test against. When a browser reading looks wrong, his capture is how the team confirms whether the controller, the operating system or the page is at fault.

On Gamepad Tester he provides the reference measurements behind the latency and drift answers.
