Summary
Paul Green is a veteran systems software engineer and mentor with over five decades of hands-on experience designing and implementing operating systems, compilers, and runtime environments, including work on Multics and as a key architect for POSIX support in Stratus VOS/OpenVOS. He has authored core tooling—assemblers, binders, interpreters—and co-designed a transaction-based file system and double-byte national language support, then led their implementations. A practical problem-solver, he has repeatedly bridged engineering and customer needs through pre- and post-sales support, crisis resolution, and professional services leadership. Paul has a long track record of porting and integrating major open-source packages into constrained high-availability environments and is actively involved in porting GCC to OpenVOS. Based in Cambridge, MA, he mentors MIT students through UPOP and volunteers in fundraising and local activism, combining deep technical craft with community engagement. His career blends rare low-level expertise with sustained customer-facing and managerial roles, capped by achieving the highest technical grade at Stratus.
