Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Woods is a seasoned systems programmer and network architect with over 32 years of experience building and hardening UNIX/POSIX systems, from mail and web servers to tiny NetBSD-based embedded appliances. As a Senior Partner at Planix and long-time NetBSD contributor and release maintainer, he specializes in portable, standards-compliant C and low-level systems work—kernels, boot loaders, device drivers, and constrained-memory builds that run full POSIX environments in under two megabytes. He has a strong track record integrating hardware and firmware, designing monitoring and security features, and creating practical SCM and build systems for embedded and server products. Greg combines deep protocol and OS internals knowledge with hands-on operational experience supporting ISPs, emergency recovery, and product engineering, and prefers BSDs for their technical quality and permissive licensing. An active open-source maintainer and pragmatic engineer, he uniquely blends decades of legacy systems expertise with modern practices like automated testing and Git-based configuration management.
