Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvan Green is a low-level systems software engineer with 16 years of experience building and debugging kernels, firmware, and device drivers. He co-founded Minoca, where he designed a POSIX operating system from scratch—writing and debugging over two million lines of kernel and system code—and continues to contribute to the Minoca OS open-source project. Evan has production experience across major platforms, from rewriting Windows HAL components at Microsoft to ChromeOS kernel and firmware work at Google, and now focuses on systems development at Rivos. He excels at turning ambiguous hardware behavior into reliable software by instrumenting and debugging complex platforms, often implementing core features like virtual memory and ACPI support himself. Based in Menlo Park, he blends deep technical craftsmanship with hands-on product and company-building experience, including hardware bring-up and manufacturing collaboration. His profile reflects a rare combination of kernel-level expertise, entrepreneurial drive, and a proven ability to light up new OS functionality end-to-end.
