Google Fuchsia OS operating system project leader Chris McKillop recently announced his departure from the company. As we all know, Google has been developing the Fuchsia OS operating system since at least 2016.

Fuchsia OS first launched last year on the first-generation Nest Hub smart display. For the most part, the Fuchsia OS project has been led by engineering director Chris McKillop.
As Fuchsia OS matures, McKillop announced on Twitter that he has left Google after a decade of work. Before joining Google, McKillop was also one of the original team members who participated in the creation of the WebOS project at Palm.
Earlier, he was also responsible for building the first version of the iPhone OS (not yet called iOS), as well as Apple’s “Pink” operating system in the late 1980s.
After joining Google, McKillop also helped form the Flutter team and briefly worked on the Android TV team. The official Fuchsia OS tweet also confirmed the news of the departure, and it is unclear what McKillop’s next plans are.
