Summary
Paul Edwards is a veteran C systems programmer with over three decades of experience spanning MVS mainframes, Unix, embedded Z80 devices, and EFTPOS systems. He specializes in bringing modern C tooling to legacy platforms—most notably closing the gap for C development on IBM MVS—while comfortably handling low-level assembler and systems programming tasks. Based in the Philippines and working freelance, he continues to ship pragmatic, maintenance-focused code across diverse environments from banking terminals to enterprise mainframes. His career includes practical work with Informix/embedded SQL, source-control-era utilities, and changeman/system exits, reflecting a deep operational understanding of production systems. Colleagues know him for relentless problem solving and an unorthodox sense of humor that belies a disciplined, detail-oriented engineer.
