Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Gorham is a seasoned technical director and embedded systems engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience in C, embedded C/ASM, SQL and ODBC technologies. He leads Easysoft and the unixODBC open-source project, helping shape cross-platform database connectivity used in major Linux distributions and by commercial vendors. His background spans low-level firmware and real-time VME systems through to networked video processing and TCP/IP/X.25 stacks, reflecting a deep comfort with both legacy embedded hardware and modern server environments. Based in Leeds, he blends long-term project stewardship with practical coding, frequently moving between code, protocol design and release engineering. A less obvious strength is his sustained commitment to open standards and interoperability, visible in unixODBC’s broad adoption across database vendors and OSes.
