Gorka Eguileor is a results-driven software engineer with over 16 years of experience and deep expertise in storage, embedded systems, and networking protocols. He has been a core contributor to OpenStack storage projects (Cinder, Nova, OS-brick) at Red Hat, driving iSCSI refactors, RBD replication, and Active‑Active volume support that improved robustness and performance in production clouds. Comfortable across low-level C and x86 assembly to high-level Python services, he pairs practical hardware/serial interface knowledge with cloud-scale backend engineering. An active open-source maintainer and spec contributor, he has also influenced the Container Storage Interface and added NVMe-oF and LUKSv2-related fixes and tests to critical repos. Colleagues know him for adaptability, initiative, and the ability to liaise across communities to ship cross-project features and fixes. Based in Madrid, he combines a long history in embedded product development with cloud storage leadership, making him adept at solving systems problems that span firmware to infrastructure.
